perf offcpu: Fix build failure on old kernels
Old kernels have a 'struct task_struct' which contains a "state" field
and newer kernels have "__state" instead.
While the get_task_state() in the BPF code handles that in some way, it
assumed the current kernel has the new definition and it caused a build
error on old kernels.
We should not assume anything and access them carefully. Do not use
'task struct' directly access it instead using new and old definitions
in a row.
