[PATCH 20/21] context_tracking: Convert state to atomic_t

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue May 03 2022 - 06:03:18 EST


Context tracking's state and dynticks counter are going to be merged
in a single field so that both updates can happen atomically and at the
same time. Prepare for that with converting the state into an atomic_t.
