[RFC PATCH 16/23 -v4] Make the task State char-string visible to all

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: parse-out-task-state-to-char-string.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1306 bytes --]

The tracer wants to be able to convert the state number
into a user visible character. This patch pulls that conversion
string out the scheduler into the header. This way if it were to
ever change, other parts of the kernel will know.
