FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 03/12] arm: vdso: inline assembler operations to compiler.h

(cherry picked from commit https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044507/)

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.

Move compiler-specific code to a local compiler.h file:

- CONFIG_AEABI dependency check.
- System call fallback functions standardized into a
  DEFINE_FALLBACK macro.
- Replace arch_counter_get_cntvct() with arch_vdso_read_counter.
- Deal with architecture specific unresolved references emitted
  by GCC.
- Optimize handling of fallback calls in callers.
- For time functions that always return success, do not waste time
  checking return value for switch to fallback.
- Optimize unlikely nullptr checking in __vdso_gettimeofday,
  if tv null no need to proceed to fallback, as vdso is still
  capable of filling in the tv values.
