Subject[PATCH 08/11] Task watchers: Register profile as a task watcher
From
Date
Modify oprofile to use the task watcher chain to watch for task exit.
oprofile uses task exit as a point to synch buffers.

This patch does not modify oprofile to use the task free path of task watchers.
oprofile has its own task_free atomic notifier chain. Since its an atomic chain
we can't replace it with task watcher. Also, it's called much later when the
actual task struct is really about to be freed.
