guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.
Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.
Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit
loop by about 2%.
