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
-	  support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
-	  other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
-	  dynticks working.
-
-	  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.
