context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem

Browse Source 
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

Provide kernel entry/exit hooks necessary for userspace
RCU extended quiescent state. Syscalls need to be wrapped inside
rcu_user_exit()-rcu_user_enter() through the slow path using
TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs
are already protected inside rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but
preemption or signal handling on irq exit still need to be protected.
