sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting sched_switch event
As of commit
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
the following sequence becomes possible:
p->__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
__schedule()
deactivate_task(p);
ttwu()
READ !p->on_rq
p->__state=TASK_WAKING
trace_sched_switch()
__trace_sched_switch_state()
task_state_index()
return 0;
TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.
Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.

Any objection to picking this for stable? I'm interested in this one for some
Android users but prefer if it can be taken by stable rather than backport it
individually.
I think it makes sense to pick the next one in the series too.
What commit does this fix in Linus's tree?
It should be this one: c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
Should this be okay to be picked up by stable now? I can see AUTOSEL has picked
it up for v5.15+, but it impacts v5.10 too.

subject: sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting sched_switch event
This patch has an impact on Android 5.10 users who experience tooling breakage.
Is it possible to include in 5.10 LTS please?
It was already picked up for 5.15+ by AUTOSEL and only 5.10 is missing.

However, since then further investigation (still in progress) has shown that this
may have been the fault of the tool in question, so if you can verify that tracing
sched still works for you with this patch in 5.15.x then by all means
let's merge it.
