[patch V2 13/17] lib/vdso: Avoid highres update if clocksource is not VDSO capable

[Thomas Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the current clocksource is not VDSO capable there is no point in
updating the high resolution parts of the VDSO data.

Replace the architecture specific check with a check for a VDSO capable
clocksource and skip the update if there is none.
