Now that I can actually see the code, I think that we should simply remove
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) and set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE).
But let me re-check this once again tomorrow, I simply can't understand why
pktgen_thread_worker() does this.

Unless I am totally confused they could be removed right after ef87979c273a2
"pktgen: better scheduler friendliness" which in particular changed the main
loop to use wait_event(). Then later baac167b "pktgen: avoid expensive
set_current_state() call in loop" changed the 1st __set_current_state() to
set RUNNING, and moved the 2nd set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) outside
the main loop for absolutely no reason.

Oleg.
