Subject: [PATCH] kernel: context_tracking: use extern function instead of
 static inline function for user_enter/exit()

The related assemble code can not find the static inline function. The
related commit "ad65782 context_tracking: Optimize main APIs off case
with static key" causes this issue.

The related error (for arm, with allmodconfig):

    LD      init/built-in.o
  arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o: In function `ret_fast_syscall':
  arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:42: undefined reference to `user_enter'
