[DTrace-devel] [PATCH v3 dtrace 4/4] sched: fix on-cpu firing for kernels < 5.16

[Alan Maguire]

The solution for sched:::on-cpu firing (probing
__perf_event_task_sched_in) only works on 5.16 and later as
the relevant function is not in available_filter_functions
in earlier kernels.

Instead use the fbt::finish_task_switch:return probe as this
will cover .isra.0-suffixed optimizations if they are applied
to finish_task_switch().
