Maybe we can just put this code into the existing tst_process_state.h
header and C source.</pre>

    The tst_safe_process_state.c implementation is currently using old
    API and it's importing "test.h" . If we want to add
    TST_THREAD_STATE_WAIT into tst_process_state.h then we also need to
    rewrite process state headers/implementation files in order to
    support both old and new API.<br>
    <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:YgJPeBY+B1H9aq80@yuki">
      <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">

And we should add some documentaion about the function into the
doc/c-test-api.txt as well.

Other than that it looks good.
