When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data pageOops.
is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data
page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at
commit 660fd04f9317 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support").
When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq
and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0
instead of the data they need.
To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page
and the global data is located on the following page.
Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add
PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when
clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro
instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle
it internally.

Jason how do you want to handle this?
I can put patch 1 in a topic branch that we both merge? Then you can
apply patch 2 on top of that merge in your tree.
Or we could both apply patch 1 to our trees, it might lead to a conflict
but it wouldn't be anything drastic.
