Thank you. Added:

Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: cpu_chill(): save task state in ->saved_state()

In the previous change I saved the current task state on stack. This was
bad because while the task is scheduled-out it might receive a wake-up.
The wake up changes the task state and we must not destroy it.

Save the task-state in ->saved_state under a PI-lock to unsure that
state changes during are not missed while the task temporary scheduled
out.
