3.16.7-ckt22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 119d6f6a3be8b424b200dcee56e74484d5445f7e upstream.
Because wakeups can (fundamentally) be late, a task might not be in
the expected state. Therefore testing against a task's state is racy,
and can yield false positives.

Fixes: 9067ac85d533 ("wake_up_process() should be never used to wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task")
