[RFC PATCH 2/4] arm64: vdso: check whether the params of gettimeofday() is valid

When the params of gettimeofday() is an invalid addr(E.g.
gettimeofday(-1, -1)), it will get segment fault. To avoid
this fault, use RANGE_OK to test whether a block of memory
is valid. Returns -EFAULT if the range is invalid, 0 otherwise.
