Hi,

This patch prototypes exposing the type of context-switch-out event using
PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXT_RESERVED bit for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] records.

Types of context-switch-out events introduced by the patch meant to be 
a) preempted (task->state == TASK_RUNNING) or b) yielded == !preempted;

The changes have been manually tested on Fedora 27 with the patched kernel:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf/core
