[PATCH v1 1/3] perf/core: store context switch out type into Perf trace

[Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>]

Store thread context-switch-out event type into Perf trace as a part of 
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] records.

Introduced types of switch-out events assumed to be 
a) preempt: task->state == TASK_RUNNING and b) yield: !preempt;

New yield event type is encoded using special 
PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_YIELD bit extending PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT 
meaning traditional preemption switch out event:

    misc &= PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT | PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_YIELD
