tracehook: wait_task_inactive

Browse Source 
This extends wait_task_inactive() with a new argument so it can be used in
a "soft" mode where it will check for the task changing state unexpectedly
and back off.  There is no change to existing callers.  This lays the
groundwork to allow robust, noninvasive tracing that can try to sample a
blocked thread but back off safely if it wakes up.
