Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/5] torture: Add task state to writer-task stall printk()s

This commit adds a dump of the scheduler state for stalled rcutorture
writer tasks.  Yet another addition of debug for the intermittent
failures to proceed, where grace periods move ahead but the rcutorture
writer tasks fail to do so.
