>Description:

The new PT_IO ptrace(2) request doesn't work, since it doesn't release
a lock.

>How-To-Repeat:

struct ptrace_io_desc piod;

ptrace(PT_IO, pid, &piod, 0);

>Fix:
Since PT_IO is similar to PT_READ_D/PT_WRITE_D, I copied the
PROC_UNLOCK from there and inserted in the same location.  Patch,
against version 1.103 of sys_process.c, attached.

This patch is also available as:

P.S. GDB will soon use this request for its data transfers if it is
     available.  Really helps with large data transfers :-).
