Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] cputime: remove extra cost in task_cputime

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@...jp.nec.com>

There is an extra cost in task_cputime() and task_cputime_scaled() when
nohz_full is not activated. This patch removes that cost. When vtime
accounting is not enabled, we don't need to get deltas of utime and stime
with seqlock.

This patch adds a shortcut route if vtime accounting is not enabled.

Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if the vtime accounting on
current cpu. In future we should check the state of cpu which is running
target thread.
