[PATCH 2.6.19-rc6] sched: cleanup output of show_state/show_task

This patch cleans up the output of show_state/task() (aka magic-sysrq-t)
so that free stack space is printed as appropriate based on
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE.

Also, without this patch the header is not aligned with the data and is
thus confusing. Free stack is labeled as pid, pid is labeled as father,
and so on.

This will cause the output format to be dependent upon the setting of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE. So any code which attempts to parse the output
of this function will somehow need to work out whether or not the `free'
field is present.

Which is why we still print out a zero if CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE=n.

Ahh!

Should we make it so the header printed by show_state is aligned properly
with the data? If yes, please consider the below patch.

[PATCH 2.6.19-rc6] sched: correct output of show_state

At present show_state prints a header the does not match the output of
show_task, as follows:

-
sibling
task PC pid father child younger older
init S 00000000 0 1 0 2 (NOTLB)
-

This patch corrects the output of show_state so that the header is
aligned with the data, ala:

-
free sibling
task PC stack pid father child younger older
init S 00000000 0 1 0 2 (NOTLB)
-
