vdso: Add generic time data storage Historically each architecture defined their own way to store the vDSO data page. Add a generic mechanism to provide storage for that page. Furthermore this generic storage will be extended to also provide uniform storage for *non*-time-related data, like the random state or architecture-specific data. These will have their own pages and data structures, so rename 'vdso_data' into 'vdso_time_data' to make that split clear from the name. Also introduce a new consistent naming scheme for the symbols related to the vDSO, which makes it clear if the symbol is accessible from userspace or kernel space and the type of data behind the symbol. The generic fault handler contains an optimization to prefault the vvar page when the timens page is accessed. This was lifted from s390 and x86.

vdso: Rename HAVE_GENERIC_VDSO to VDSO_DATASTORE Over time the meaning of HAVE_GENERIC_VDSO has become off. Today it only controls the availability of the vDSO datastore. Rename the symbol to match its function.
