Sorry, are you sure? The child process is not running when ptrace() is called, 
and this holds even for PTRACE_SWITCH_MM (check ptrace_check_attach()).

So, the child process is not running and activate_mm cannot be called (maybe I 
do not understand activate_mm, but it's simply switch_mm, that is called by 
schedule, so I think I guessed right).
