context_tracking: Generalize context tracking APIs to support user and guest
Generalize the context tracking APIs to support various nature of contexts. This is performed by splitting out the mechanism from context_tracking_user_enter and context_tracking_user_exit into context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit. The nature of the context we track is now detailed in a ctx_state parameter pushed to these APIs, allowing the same functions to not just track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions. But leave the old functions in order to avoid breaking ARM, which calls these functions from assembler code, and cannot easily use C enum parameters. Reviewed-by: Paul E.
