[CRIU] [PATCHv3 16/27] x86/vdso: Switch image on setns()/unshare()/clone()

[Dmitry Safonov]

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.

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.

Whenever a user does setns()/unshare() or clone() with CLONE_TIMENS,
change VDSO image in mm and zap existing VVAR/VDSO page tables.
They will be re-faulted with corresponding image and VVAR offsets.
