Subject: [PATCH 1/4] rcu,nohz: add state parameter to context_tracking_user_enter/exit

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>

Add the expected ctx_state as a parameter to context_tracking_user_enter
and context_tracking_user_exit, allowing the same functions to not just
track kernel <> user space switching, but also kernel <> guest transitions.
