Subject: [05/19] ftrace: make the task state char-string visible to all

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@...hat.com>

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.
