[PATCH v2 1/3] kernel : process fork/exit: export symbol for fork/exit tracing functions

In ths Patch, we export symbols for two functions of
"sched_process_fork" and "sched_process_exit" for
process statistics. During the system running,
some process will run in a second and then terminate.
We hope that we can capture those processes' jiffies
information for system performance analysis.
