[PATCH v5 4/6] lib/vdso: Allow fixed clock mode

[Christophe Leroy]

Some architectures have a fixed clocksource which is known at compile
time and cannot be replaced or disabled at runtime, e.g. timebase on
PowerPC. For such cases the clock mode check in the VDSO code is
pointless.

Therefore, give architectures the opportunity to redefine the way
clock_mode is checked by moving the check into an
__arch_vdso_capable() macro.
