context_tracking: Only define schedule_user() on !HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK archs

Browse Source 
schedule_user() was traditionally used by the entry code's tail to
preempt userspace after the call to user_enter(). Indeed the call to
user_enter() used to be performed upon syscall exit slow path which was
right before the last opportunity to schedule() while resuming to
userspace. The context tracking state had to be saved on the task stack
and set back to CONTEXT_KERNEL temporarily in order to safely switch to
another task.

Only a few archs use it now (namely sparc64 and powerpc64) and those
implementing HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK definetly can't rely on it.
