Ah, you're right, I was thinking it was at boosting. But still, it's a
rather hefty tracepoint (lots of fields), probably want to keep from
adding comm too.

From the change log:

"It is emitted in the code path of the sched_setscheduler,
 sched_setattr, sched_setparam, nice and the fork system calls. For fork, it is emitted
 after the sched_process_fork tracepoint for timeline consistency and
 because the PID is not yet set when sched_fork() is called."

I'm not convinced this should be needed. I hate adding back to back
tracepoints.
