Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: introduce sched_switch_post trace event

Currently we only have one sched_switch trace event
for task switching, which is generated very early during
task switch. When we try to monitor per-container perf
events, this is not what we expect.

For example, we have a process A which is in the cgroup
we monitor, and process B which isn't, when kernel switches
from B to A, the sched_switch event is not recorded for this
cgroup since it belongs to B (current process is still B
util we finish the switch), but we require this event to
signal that process A in this cgroup gets scheduled. This is
crucial for calculating schedule latency (like `perf sched`).

Ideally, we need to split the sched_switch event into two:
sched_in event before we perform the switch, and sched_out
event after we perform the switch. However, for compatibility,
we can not change the sched_switch event. So before we have
trace event alias, we can just reuse sched_switch and introduce
sched_switch_post event instead.
