[PATCHv3 17/27] vdso: introduce timens_static_branch

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin at gmail.com>

As it has been discussed on timens RFC, adding a new conditional branch
`if (inside_time_ns)` on VDSO for all processes is undesirable.

Addressing those problems, there are two versions of VDSO's .so:
for host tasks (without any penalty) and for processes inside of time
namespace with clk_to_ns() that subtracts offsets from host's time.

This patch introduces timens_static_branch(), which is similar with
static_branch_unlikely.

The timens code in vdso looks like this:

       if (timens_static_branch()) {
               clk_to_ns(clk, ts);
       }

The version of vdso which is compiled from sources will never execute
clk_to_ns(). And then we can patch the 'no-op' in the straight-line
codepath with a 'jump' instruction to the out-of-line true branch and
get the timens version of the vdso library.

While cooking the patch, an alternative approach has being considered:
to omit no-ops - memcpy() the following asm ret sequience on the place of
a function call: https://github.com/0x7f454c46/linux/commit/4cc0180f6d65
Having in mind possible issues with different toolchains, the usual
static_branch() approach was choosen.
