context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.
