sched/cputime: Introduce vtime accounting check for readers

Readers need to know if vtime runs at all on some CPU somewhere, this
is a fast-path check to determine if we need to check further the need
to add up any tickless cputime delta.

This fast path check uses context tracking state because vtime is tied
to context tracking as of now. This check appears to be confusing though
so lets use a vtime function that deals with context tracking details
in vtime implementation instead.
