do_wait: fix the theoretical race with stop/trace/cont



do_wait:

	current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
	... search for the task to reap ...

In theory, the ->state changing can leak into the critical section.  Since
the child can change its status under read_lock(tasklist) in parallel
(finish_stop/ptrace_stop), we can miss the wakeup if __wake_up_parent()
sees us in TASK_RUNNING state.  Add the barrier.

Also, use __set_current_state() to set TASK_RUNNING.
