sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime") added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint. It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch because the tracepoint was not active. It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side effects of: - se->statistics.sleep_start = 0; ... - se->statistics.block_start = 0; Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant instrumentation. Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.
