[PATCHv3 15/27] x86/vdso: Allocate timens vdso

As it has been discussed on timens RFC, adding a new conditional branch
`if (inside_time_ns)` on VDSO for all processes is undesirable.
It will add a penalty for everybody as branch predictor may mispredict
the jump. Also there are instruction cache lines wasted on cmp/jmp.

Those effects of introducing time namespace are very much unwanted
having in mind how much work have been spent on micro-optimisation
vdso code.

The propose is to allocate a second vdso code with dynamically
patched out (disabled by static_branch) timens code on boot time.

Allocate another vdso and copy original code.
