s390/vdso: fix getcpu

Browse source 
getcpu reads the required values for cpu and node with two
instructions. This might lead to an inconsistent result if user space
gets preempted and migrated to a different CPU between the two
instructions.

Fix this by using just a single instruction to read both values at
once.

This is currently rather a theoretical bug, since there is no real
NUMA support available (except for NUMA emulation).
