Good catch, we are indeed missing the state of the task that is going to sleep
for the context switch events (in the raw mode).

Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>

Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up  tracers, not
the sched trace events.
The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

Thanks.
