Seeing in the marker chart of profiles which observer service notifications are fired when and how long we are blocked on them would help make sense of some profiles.

Here is an example on a shutdown profile: https://perfht.ml/2Dsnsjf

The patch I have for this collects the stack, but I could be convinced to omit it if we are afraid collecting stacks would have too much overhead. In the profiles I've seen when trying locally, we don't seem to call this often enough for the stack overhead to be an actual problem, and I guess the stack could be helpful.
