tracing: Remove obsolete sched_switch tracer

Browse Source 
The trace events sched_switch and sched_wakeup do the same thing
as the stand alone sched_switch tracer does. It is no longer needed.

Wake ups are represented by a "+" and the context switches are
shown as "==>". The format is:
Context switches:
Previous task Next Task
<pid>:<prio>:<state> ==> <pid>:<prio>:<state>
Wake ups:
Current task Task waking up
<pid>:<prio>:<state> + <pid>:<prio>:<state>
The prio is the internal kernel priority, which is the inverse
of the priority that is usually displayed by user-space tools.
Zero represents the highest priority (99). Prio 100 starts the
"nice" priorities with 100 being equal to nice -20 and 139 being
nice 19. The prio "140" is reserved for the idle task which is
the lowest priority thread (pid 0).

As we have discussed previously about this format, the header
shows the name of the trace and points to the options. The
"FUNCTION" is a misnomer since here it represents the wake ups
and context switches.
The sched_switch file only lists the wake ups (represented with
'+') and context switches ('==>') with the previous task or
current task first followed by the next task or task waking up.
The format for both of these is PID:KERNEL-PRIO:TASK-STATE.
Remember that the KERNEL-PRIO is the inverse of the actual
priority with zero (0) being the highest priority and the nice
values starting at 100 (nice -20). Below is a quick chart to map
the kernel priority to user land priorities.
Kernel Space User Space
===============================================================
0(high) to 98(low) user RT priority 99(high) to 1(low)
with SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO
---------------------------------------------------------------
99 sched_priority is not used in scheduling
decisions(it must be specified as 0)
---------------------------------------------------------------
100(high) to 139(low) user nice -20(high) to 19(low)
---------------------------------------------------------------
140 idle task priority
---------------------------------------------------------------
The task states are:
R - running : wants to run, may not actually be running
S - sleep : process is waiting to be woken up (handles signals)
D - disk sleep (uninterruptible sleep) : process must be woken up
(ignores signals)
T - stopped : process suspended
t - traced : process is being traced (with something like gdb)
Z - zombie : process waiting to be cleaned up
X - unknown
