Should not the last two be something like:

static inline bool context_tracking_enabled_cpu(int cpu)
{
	return context_tracking_enabled() && per_cpu(context_tracking.active, cpu);
}

static inline bool context_tracking_enabled_this_cpu(void)
{
	return context_tracking_enabled() && __this_cpu_read(context_tracking.active);
}

Because, afaict, not all callsites first check the static key.
