Subject: [PATCH 1/3] context_tracking: Fix KCSAN noinstr violation

With KCSAN enabled, even empty inline stubs can be out-of-lined.

Force the context_tracking_guest_exit() stub inline.

Fixes the following warnings:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmx_vcpu_enter_exit+0x1be: call to context_tracking_guest_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: svm_vcpu_enter_exit+0x85: call to context_tracking_guest_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section
