Subject: [PATCH 2/6] rcu,nohz: add state parameter to context_tracking_enter/exit

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

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

Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>
