And this should not be using the internal macros of a trace point. It should be:

	trace_sched_set_state_tp(current, state_value);

(I removed the current->__state as mentioned above).  
But the static branch is already in the caller, no point duplicating
that.
Regardless, you should not be using internals of the tracepoints. That can
change at any time and is not reliable (as the kernel test robot pointed out).

It's a static branch, who cares if it's added twice? One is used to jump to
the function, the other is for the tracepoint logic itself.

There's several places that do this.

Perhaps, in the future we could create a normal API that will always call
the tracepoint, but until then, let's not use code that wasn't meant for
that purpose.
