Subject[RFC][PATCH 01/11] sched: add sched_class->task_dead.
From
Date
Add a new function to the scheduling class interface. It is called
at the end of a cointext switch, if the going out task is in
TASK_DEAD state.

It might be of help in case the scheduling class wants to be
notified when one of its task dies, e.g. to perform some
cleanup actions.
