The users that access prev->__state would most likely have to be fixed, for sure.

However, not all users access prev->__state. `offcputime` for example just takes a
stack trace and associates it with the switched out task. This kind of user
would continue working with the proposed patch.

Sure, I'm just advocating for a fairly trivial patch to avoid some of the suffering,
hopefully without being a burden to development. If that's not the case, then it's a
clear no-go.
