perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME
Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking, this means that calls like: ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED); ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE); will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone. Secondly, this allows for an early disable like: ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME); which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time. For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include EVENT_TIME. For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will automatically clear EVENT_TIME. These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.
