Change wait_task_inactive() to check "state & match_state" instead of
"state == match_state". This should not make any difference, but this
allows us to add more "stopped" bits which can be set or cleared
independently.
IOW. wait_task_inactive() assumes that if task->state != 0, it can
only be changed to TASK_RUNNING. Currently this is true, and in this
case "state & match_state" continues to work. But, unlike the current
check, it also works if task->state has other bits set while the caller
is only interested in, say, __TASK_TRACED.
Note: I think wait_task_inactive() should be cleanuped upstrean anyway,
nowadays we have TASK_WAKING and task->state != 0 doesn't necessarily
mean it is TASK_RUNNING. It also makes sense to exclude the !TASK_REPORT
bits during the check. Finally, probably this patch makes sense anyway
even without utrace. For example, a stopped _and_ traced thread could
have task->state = TASK_STOPPED | TASK_TRACED, this can be useful.
