FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 12/12] lib: vdso: do not expose gettimeofday, if no arch supported timer

(cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044539/)

Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C
previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@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.

If ARCH_PROVIDES_TIMER is not defined, do not expose gettimeofday.
libc will default directly to syscall.  Also ifdef clock_gettime
switch cases and stubs if not supported and other unused components.
