However, making them be functional as if under CONTEXT_TRACKING_WORK would allow NO_HZ_IDLE to leverage IPI deferral to keep idle CPUs idle longer. Having this enabled for NO_HZ_IDLE is a different argument than for having it for NO_HZ_FULL (power savings vs latency/performance), but the backing mechanism is identical. Add a default-no option to enable IPI deferral with NO_HZ_IDLE.
