MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime()

Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.

When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.

When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.

This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.

A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):

 - Syscall:    ~31000 ns
 - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
 - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns

[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]
