Dovetail does not pass any argument to the client core along with
INBAND_TASK_PTCONT, because "current" may always be assumed. So
handle_ptrace_cont() receives no argument, and next_task is actually
"current" in this case.

The reason was that the I-pipe gave us no way to observe ptraced tasks
waking up from a stopped state, so we resorted to observing context
switches, figuring out when/if the incoming task was about to resume
from a ptrace-induced stopped state. Since Dovetail can send us such
event directly from the context of the resuming task, next_task ==
current in this context.
