[Crash-utility] waitq command does not work on RHEL5 and later (2.6.18 kernel)

Hello,

I notice that struct __wait_queue changed somewhere around 2.6.15 and as
a result the waitq command fails because of the missing member "task"
which was replaced by the member "private" containing the same information.

 > << snipped >>

The attached patch fixes this, tested on RHEL4 and RHEL5 i686 only.

Regards,
Alan Tyson, HP.
