I would prefer to pretend set_task_state() does not exist, using it on
anything other than task==current is very very tricky.

With the below patch; we're only left with:

arch/s390/mm/fault.c: __set_task_state(tsk, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
arch/s390/mm/fault.c: __set_task_state(tsk, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
drivers/md/bcache/btree.c: set_task_state(c->gc_thread, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
kernel/exit.c: set_task_state(tsk, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
kernel/exit.c: __set_task_state(tsk, TASK_RUNNING);

exit most probably also has tsk==current, but I didn't check.

bacache seems to rely on the fact that the task is not running after
kthread_create() to change the state. But I've no idea why; the only
think I can come up with is because load accounting, a new thread blocks
in UNINTERRUPTIBLE which adds to load. But by setting it to
INTERRUPTIBLE before waking up it can actually mess that up. This really
should be fixed.

And s390 does something entirely vile, no idea what.
