sched/debug: Fix potential call to __ffs(0) in sched_show_task() "struct task_struct"->state is "volatile long" and __ffs() warns that "Undefined if no bit exists, so code should check against 0 first." Therefore, at expression state = p->state ? __ffs(p->state) + 1 : 0; in sched_show_task(), CPU might see "p->state" before "?" as "non-zero" but "p->state" after "?" as "zero", which could result in "state >= sizeof(stat_nam)" being true and bogus '?' is printed. This patch changes "state" from "unsigned int" to "unsigned long" and save "p->state" before calling __ffs(), in order to avoid potential call to __ffs(0).
