97884ca8c2 arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso
We have a class of errata (grouped under the ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
banner) that force the trapping of counter access from 32bit EL0.

We would normally disable the whole vdso for such defect, except that
it would disable it for 64bit userspace as well, which is a shame.

Instead, add a new vdso_clock_mode, which signals that the vdso
isn't usable for compat tasks.  This gets checked in the new
vdso_clocksource_ok() helper, now provided for the 32bit vdso.

31fdcac07f arm64: Introduce asm/vdso/clocksource.h
The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for
a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make
this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the
common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library.

Introduce asm/vdso/clocksource.h to contain all the arm64 specific
functions that are suitable for vDSO inclusion.

This header will be required by a future patch that will generalize
vdso/clocksource.h.
