perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME

Browse Source 
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.
