Pull vdso timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A series of commits to deal with the regression caused by the generic
  VDSO implementation.

  The usage of clock_gettime64() for 32bit compat fallback syscalls
  caused seccomp filters to kill innocent processes because they only
  allow clock_gettime().

  Handle the compat syscalls with clock_gettime() as before, which is
  not a functional problem for the VDSO as the legacy compat application
  interface is not y2038 safe anyway. It's just extra fallback code
  which needs to be implemented on every architecture.

  It's opt in for now so that it does not break the compile of already
  converted architectures in linux-next. Once these are fixed, the
  #ifdeffery goes away.

  So much for trying to be smart and reuse code..."
