[RFC,v3,5/6] perf sched: prefer to use prev_state_char introduced in sched_switch

Commit Message

Since the sched_switch tracepoint introduces a new variable to
report sched-out task state in symbolic char, we prefer to use
it to spare from knowing internal implementations in kernel.

Also we keep the old parsing logic intact but sync the state char
array with the latest kernel.
