Subject: [PATCH] coredump debugging: add a tracepoint to report the coredumping

From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@...mail.com>

Currently coredump_task_exit() takes some time to wait for the generation
of the dump file. But if the user-space wants to receive a notification
as soon as possible it maybe inconvenient.

Add the new trace_sched_process_coredump() into coredump_task_exit(),
this way a user-space monitor could easily wait for the exits and
potentially make some preparations in advance.
