As-is this looks sound to me. It's not entirely clear to me how this
will compose with VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, but given this series is fixing
an existing brokenness I think this has higher priority.

Minor comment below, but regardless:

Existing issue, but it's a shame this doesn't take the clock mode
directly, then we wouldn't have to duplicate the conditions (as above,
inverted).
