tracing: Remove obsolete sched_switch tracer
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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

-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
