sched: Remove sched_switch
Currently we don't utilize the sched_switch field anymore. But, simply removing sched_switch field from the middle of the sched_stat output will break tools. So, to stay compatible we hardcode it to zero and remove the field from the scheduler data structures. Update the schedstat documentation accordingly.
