Subject: [PATCH tip 3/3] Improve sched_process_exit Tracepoint

This commit adds group_dead value to sched_process_exit's Tracepoint
struct. The value is passed as an argument of the Tracepoint. It is
useful to differentiate exits of a regular process or the last process
of the process group.

This commit also exposes pointers of exited task. BPF program can read task
information via task struct pointer. Exposing the pointer explicitly gives
BPF programs an easy and reliable way of using the Tracepoint.
