Subject: [PATCH] sched/debug: print column titles of show_state_filter()

This addition in the debug output shall improve readablitly..
Its not intuitive for users that the pid printed in last column
is of parent process.

Without this patch:
localhost ~ # dmesg -w &
localhost ~ # echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger
[22148.730225] sysrq: Show Blocked State
localhost ~ #

With this patch:
localhost ~ # dmesg -w &
localhost ~ # echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger
[ 99.979365] sysrq: Show Blocked State
--> [ 99.983471] task PC stack pid father
localhost ~ #

v2: Dropped #ifdef logic
v3: Sample output in commit message

Thanks. Probably want to update this "father" too.

And as Steve said, maybe a line or 2 of actual data?

Cheers,
Phil
