Subject: [PATCH 02/23] context_tracing: Fix guest accounting with native vtime

1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which
combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter()
and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs
in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed
on kvm context switches.

2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those
CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn
call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we
run in tick based accounting for these CPUs.

Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations
finally work.
