[PATCH 2.5.52] Use __set_current_state() instead of current->state = (take 3)

[Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky.perez-gonzalez@intel.com>]

Hi all

In fs/*.c, many functions manually set the task state directly
accessing current->state, or with a macro, kind of
inconsistently. This patch changes all of them to use
[__]set_current_state().

Changelog:

  - Use safe set_current_state() instead of __set... in
    exec.c:de_thread()

 Take 2:

  - Added feedback from Robert Love regarding usage of
    __set_current_thread() vs. set_current_thread() to avoid race
    conditions related to memory flush. 

  - Use cond_resched() in namei.c:do_follow_link().

 Take 1:

  - Ported forward to 2.5.52
