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.

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.
Thanks
