FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 02/12] arm: vdso: add include file defining __get_datapage()

(cherry picked from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044481/)

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.

Define the prototype for __get_datapage() in local datapage.h header.
Rename all vdata variable that point to the datapage shortened to vd
to relect a consistent and concise style. Make sure that all
references to the datapage in vdso operations are readonly (const).
Make sure datapage is first parameter to all subroutines to also
be consistent.
