Subject: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/eeh_event.c: slightly fix set_current_state() wart

That set_current_state() won't work very well: the subsequent mutex_lock()
might flip the task back into TASK_RUNNING.

Attempt to put it somewhere where it might have been meant to be, and
attempt to describe why it might have been added.
