Subject: [PATCH 1/1] timer: Warn about schedule_timeout() called for tasks in TASK_RUNNING state
Date:   Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:02:18 +0300

When we were preparing the patch 6dcd5d7a7a29c1e, we made a mistake noticed
by Linus: schedule_timeout() was called without setting the task state to
anything particular. It calls the scheduler, but doesn't delay anything,
because the task stays runnable. That happens because sched_submit_work()
does nothing for tasks in TASK_RUNNING state.

Let's add a WARN_ONCE() under CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG to detect such kernel
API misuse.
