context-tracking: Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_TIF_NOHZ

A few archs (x86, arm, arm64) don't rely anymore on TIF_NOHZ to call
into context tracking on user entry/exit but instead use static keys
(or not) to optimize those calls. Ideally every arch should migrate to
that behaviour in the long run.

Settle a config option to let those archs remove their TIF_NOHZ
definitions.

Provide kernel/user boundaries probes necessary for subsystems
that need it, such as userspace RCU extended quiescent state.
Syscalls need to be wrapped inside user_exit()-user_enter() through
the slow path using TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be
wrapped as well. Irqs are already protected inside
rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but preemption or signal handling on
irq exit still need to be protected.

Arch relies on TIF_NOHZ and syscall slow path to implement context
tracking calls to user_enter()/user_exit().
