The functions will be more robust against process names with
unusual characters and will correctly read the state character
from the /proc/[pid]/stat file. This is a necessary change
because the process name, which is a free-form string, can
contain spaces and other characters that would otherwise
disrupt the simple parsing logic of the original format string.

e.g.
 $ cat /proc/792442/stat
 792442 (Web Content) S 164213 4351 4351 0 -1 4194560 ...

Obviously correct, thanks.

Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>

But there is also the same issue in lib/tst_thread_state.c,
I guess it applies to that. Li, could you please also fix it before merge?

Also, Andrea, you added tst_thread_state_wait() and TST_THREAD_STATE_WAIT() for
futex_waitv0[23] related tests [1], but it's now not used anywhere due Jan's
changes [2] [3]. I wonder if it's still useful or whether we should remove it.

Kind regards,
Petr

I'd keep it, it's a small function and someone could find useful for
some new test.

Good point, applied with the tst_thread_state change.

Agreed with Jan, it is still useful in the future.
