[PATCH] time: Move CONTEXT_TRACKING to kernel/time/Kconfig
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Dec 20 2018 - 12:05:29 EST
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.
This commit therefore moves them to kernel/time/Kconfig, where the rest
of the NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig options live.
