Subject[PATCH 1/1] sched: Check TASK_DEAD rather than EXIT_DEAD in schedule_debug()
schedule_debug() ignores in_atomic() if prev->exit_state != 0.
This is not what we want, ->exit_state is set by exit_notify()
but we should complain until the task does the last schedule()
in TASK_DEAD.

See also 7407251a0e2e "PF_DEAD cleanup", I think this ancient
commit explains why schedule() had to rely on ->exit_state,
until that commit exit_notify() disabled preemption and set
PF_DEAD which was used to detect the exiting task.
