[PATCH 08/21] context_tracking: Optimize main APIs off case with static key

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Optimize user and exception entry/exit APIs with static
keys. This minimize the overhead for those who enable
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL without always using it. Having no range
passed to nohz_full= should result in the probes to be nopped
(at least we hope so...).

If this proves not be enough in the long term, we'll need
to bring an exception slow path by re-routing the exception
handlers.
