[PATCH v5 11/12] lib: vdso: Add support for CLOCK_BOOTTIME

Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C
previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski at cavium.com>, rework
it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations
for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the
result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify
future maintenance.

Add a case for CLOCK_BOOTTIME as it is popular for measuring
relative time on systems expected to suspend() or hibernate().

Android uses CLOCK_BOOTTIME for all relative time measurements
and timeouts. Switching to vdso reduced CPU utilization and improves
accuracy. There is also a desire by some partners to switch all
logging over to CLOCK_BOOTTIME, and thus this operation alone would
contribute to a near percentile CPU load.

v2:
- rebased and changed from 3/3 to 10/10, fortified commit message.

v3:
- move arch/arm/vdso/vgettimeofday.c to lib/vdso/vgettimeofday.c.

v4:
- update commit message to reflect specific, and overall reasoning
  of patch series.
- drop forced inline operations.
- switch typeof() with __kernel_time_t.

v5:
- added comment about open coded timepsec_add_ns() for clarity.
