The length of TASK_STATE_TO_CHAR_STR was still checked using the old
link-time manual error method - convert it to BUILD_BUG_ON(). This
has a couple of advantages:
- it's more obvious what's going on
- it reduces the size and complexity of <linux/sched.h>
- BUILD_BUG_ON() will fail during compilation, with a clearer
error message than the link time assert.
