[PATCH v4 07/12] arm: vdso: disable profiling

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.

Make sure kasan and ubsan profiling, and kcov instrumentation,
is turned off for VDSO code.
