Use helper functions to access current->state.
Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.
current->state = TASK_RUNNING is replaced by __set_current_state()
You sometimes use __set_current_state() and sometimes set_current_state().
Hello Sergei,
Peter suggested to use __set_current_state() for TASK_RUNNING :

I didn't even question your decisions, I (like Peter) just wanted a more

Regards,
Fabian
