[PATCHv6 27/36] x86/vdso: Enable static branches for the timens vdso

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.

The timens code in vdso looks like this:

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

This static branch is disabled by default. And the code generated consist
of a single atomic 'no-op' instruction, in the straight-line code path.

Enable static branches in the timens vdso: the 'no-op' instruction
gets replaced with a 'jump' instruction to the out-of-line true branch.
