Series add to report task state in symbolic chars from sched tracepoint |

  Since the sched_switch tracepoint introduces a new variable to
report sched-out task state in symbolic char, we prefer to use
it to spare from knowing internal implementations in kernel.

Also we keep the old parsing logic intact but sync the state char
array with the latest kernel.

This should be two patches. First sync the state char array and then add
your state_char change. The two changes are agnostic to each other, and
should be separate commits. Same goes for the perf changes.

Fair enough! Already did this in perf fixes. Will push a v4
to do this.

Thanks,
Ze
