Re: [RFC][PATCH 6/7] context_tracking: Provide SMP ordering using RCU

Use rcu_user_{enter,exit}() calls to provide SMP ordering on context
tracking state stores:

__context_tracking_exit()
  __this_cpu_write(context_tracking.state, CONTEXT_KERNEL)
  rcu_user_exit()
    rcu_eqs_exit()
      rcu_dynticks_eqs_eit()
        rcu_dynticks_inc()
          atomic_add_return() /* smp_mb */

__context_tracking_enter()
  rcu_user_enter()
    rcu_eqs_enter()
      rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()
        rcu_dynticks_inc()
	  atomic_add_return() /* smp_mb */
  __this_cpu_write(context_tracking.state, state)

This separates USER/KERNEL state with an smp_mb() on each side,
therefore, a user of context_tracking_state_cpu() can say the CPU must
pass through an smp_mb() before changing.
