[PATCH] vdso/gettimeofday: Clean up read of tz_minuteswest and tz_dsttime

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 08:42:37 EST


When these fields got moved from 'struct vdso_time_data' to the new
'struct vdso_clock', this access was forgotten.

'vd' is not an array, but a pointer to a single structure. The code
works by accident in its current form as CS_HRES_COARSE is 0.

Replace the incorrect array access with a regular pointer dereference.

Fixes: 886653e36639 ("vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock")
