[PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order
1) release_task(task)
2) release_task(task->parent)
3) a grace period passed
But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.
Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.
