[LTP] [PATCH/RFC] tst_process_state_wait: wait for schedstats to settle when state == S

hb->lock is locked at this point, and requeue takes it too, so I'm not
sure what makes it fail. I've seen testcase fail in at least
2 different ways now. Here's the other one:

tst_test.c:1118: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 3 waiters and requeued 7 waiters
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 0 waiters and requeued 10 waiters
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 2 waiters and requeued 6 waiters
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 50 waiters and requeued 50 waiters
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 0 waiters and requeued 70 waiters
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:46: INFO: process 7923 wasn't woken up: ETIMEDOUT (110)
...
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:71: FAIL: futex_cmp_requeue() returned 776, expected 1000
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:85: FAIL: 224 waiters were not woken up normally
futex_cmp_requeue01.c:106: PASS: futex_cmp_requeue() woke up 300 waiters and requeued 500 waiters
