Subject: [PATCH 06/12] sched: relocate fire_sched_notifiers_out() and trace_sched_switch()

Relocate fire_sched_notifiers_out() from prepare_task_switch() and
trace_sched_switch() from context_switch() to schedule() so that
trace_sched_switch(), perf_event_task_sched_out() and
fire_sched_notifiers_out() are colocated.

Both are now called before switch counts and rq->curr are updated and
in addition trace_sched_switch() is called before
prepare_lock/arch_switch(); however, this shouldn't make any visible
different for either.

This will help unifying notifiers in sched.
