Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] tracing/sched: add 'next_policy' to trace_sched_switch

From: gaoxiang17 <gaoxiang17@...omi.com>

Sometimes, when analyzing some real-time process issues, it is necessary to know the sched policy.

Show up in the trace as:

	 72.267374: sched_switch: prev_comm=grep prev_pid=67 prev_prio=19 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=cat next_pid=66 next_prio=120 next_policy=normal
	 72.267594: sched_switch: prev_comm=cat prev_pid=66 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R+ ==> next_comm=grep next_pid=67 next_prio=19 next_policy=RR
	562.192567: sched_switch: prev_comm=grep prev_pid=85 prev_prio=19 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=cat next_pid=84 next_prio=120 next_policy=normal
	562.192944: sched_switch: prev_comm=cat prev_pid=84 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R+ ==> next_comm=grep next_pid=85 next_prio=19 next_policy=FIFO
