Subject: [PATCH 1/2] exit: add a tracepoint for profiling a task that is starting to exit

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.

Commit 2d4bcf886e42 ("exit: Remove profile_task_exit & profile_munmap")
simplified the code, but also removed profile_task_exit(), which may
prevent third-party kernel modules from detecting process exits timely.

Add the new trace_sched_profile_task_exit() this way a user-space monitor
could detect the exits and potentially make some preparations in advance.
