[関山友輝 / SEKIYAMA，TOMOKI]

Also 'X' and 'Z' in TASK_STATE_TO_CHAR_STR need to be swapped:

Hi David,

Thank you for the review.

I couldn't find the state for 'n'. Where can I find it?
I have rechecked the code and found that __trace_sched_switch_state() uses
TASK_STATE_MAX for preempted tasks.
I will add 'N', and '+' (instead of "R+" ftrace shows) for preempted tasks.
(Also add_sched_out_event should set THREAD_WAIT_CPU for preempted tasks.)

OK, I will make it return '?' for unknown states.

Will update the patch soon.
