time: Move CONTEXT_TRACKING to kernel/time/Kconfig
Both CONTEXT_TRACKING and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE are currently defined in kernel/rcu/kconfig, which might have made sense at some point, but no longer does given that RCU refers to neither of these Kconfig options. Therefore move them to kernel/time/Kconfig, where the rest of the NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig options live. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

- The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
- support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
- other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
- dynticks working.
-
- This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
- context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
- requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
- Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
- for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
- userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
- accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
- dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
- CPUs in the system.
-
- Say Y only if you're working on the development of an
- architecture backend for the context tracking.
-
- Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
- don't want in production.
