You bet we might also extend this to track guest as well in the future
because it appears that we could also enter into RCU extended quiescent
state when we run in guest.

So we probably need to generalize a bit more. Some naming based on
"code domain"?

struct code_domain {
	int is_tracking;
	enum {
		in_kernel,
		in_user,
		in_guest
	} state;
}
