Remove ptrace mode support from thp04.c to keep the test focused on its original purpose: testing the CVE-2017-1000405 race condition. The ptrace-based /proc/pid/mem write functionality is now covered by dedicated tests in testcases/kernel/syscalls/ptrace/: - ptrace12: Tests that CONFIG_PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE blocks self-writes - ptrace13: Tests that ptrace allows parent-to-child memory writes This separation follows the principle of one test per feature and makes the test suite more maintainable.
