So the RCU bits are in rcu_user_enter(), which is called from
__context_tracking_enter() aka user_enter(), which is under
context_tracking_enabled().

But the new code in entry is not; we now unconditionally call
rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup(). Did that want to be under
context_tracking_enabled() as well?

Frederic, Paul?
