sched, trace: Fix sched_switch() prev_state argument

For CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels the sched_switch(.prev_state) argument isn't
useful because we can get preempted with current->state != TASK_RUNNING
without actually getting removed from the runqueue.

Cure this by treating all preempted tasks as runnable from the tracer's
point of view.
