/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest.
When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta.
The delta is calculated now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is enabled.
This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime when vtime accounting
is not enabled.
Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if the vtime accounting on
current cpu. In future we should check the state of cpu which is running
target thread.
The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full.
I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.
Dump the 43rd field which shows the gtime in every second.
# while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done

During running busy loop, it returns large value.
After applying this patch, we can see right gtime.
# while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/10913/task/10956/stat; sleep 1; done

v2: Update ChangeLog to put the script and show the point.
v3: Use context_tracking_is_enabled() instead of vtime_accounting_enabled().
