Now that EXIT_DEAD is the terminal state we can kill "int traced" variable and check "state == EXIT_DEAD" instead to cleanup the code. In particular, this way it is clear that the check obviously doesn't need tasklist_lock.
Also fix the type of "unsigned long state", "long" was always wrong although this doesn't matter because cmpxchg/xchg uses typeof(*ptr).
