Log Message:
Enhance pipe(2)-based IPC barrier in attach5 of t_ptrace_wait

The write(2) call does not block and there is need to perform handshake, in
order to wait on the read(2) call.

The pipe(2) interface for IPC purposes is quite difficult to design and get
right. It might be refactored and with added new helper functions, although
it would be better to switch to some other mechanism rather. But as it
works now quite well in the current set of tests, do not touch it.
