What about "Also add a blocked_on_state enum to task_struct to
distinguish ..." to use an imperative language?
The same for "Also adds" and "Finally adds" below.

These functions make me think we should use [get, set]_task_blocked_on()
for accessing blocked_on & blocked_on_state fields, but there are some
references in this patch which we directly access aforementioned fields.
Is this OK?

blocked_on* fields are now used even in !CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC case.
I'm unsure if we can get rid of lock & unlock lines or entire hunk, but
would this be too ugly? I wish we could convert blocked_on_state to an
atomic variable.

if (p->blocked_on_state == BO_WAKING) {
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->blocked_lock, flags);
p->blocked_on_state = BO_RUNNABLE;
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&p->blocked_lock, flags);
}
