Kevin, can you please try this patch? It built tested fine on ARM
and live tested correctly on x86. There should be no problem but
just in case.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] arm: Fix build error with context tracking calls

ad65782fba50 (context_tracking: Optimize main APIs off case
with static key) converted context tracking main APIs to inline
functions and left ARM asm callers behind.

This can be easily fixed by making ARM calling the post static
keys context tracking functions. We just need to replicate the
static key checks there. We'll remove these later when ARM will
support the context tracking static keys.
