sched: Debug nested sleeps

Validate we call might_sleep() with TASK_RUNNING, which catches places
where we nest blocking primitives, eg. mutex usage in a wait loop.

Since all blocking is arranged through task_struct::state, nesting
this will cause the inner primitive to set TASK_RUNNING and the outer
will thus not block.

Another observed problem is calling a blocking function from
schedule()->sched_submit_work()->blk_schedule_flush_plug() which will
then destroy the task state for the actual __schedule() call that
comes after it.
