Useful to track how RSS is changing per TGID. Several Android teams have
been using this patch in various kernel trees for half a year now. Many
reported to me it is really useful.
Initial patch developed by Tim Murray. Changes I made from original patch:
o Prevent any additional space consumed by mm_struct.
o Keep overhead low by checking if tracing is enabled.
o Add some noise reduction and lower overhead by emitting only on
threshold changes.
