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.

	  The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to

	  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.
