ms/vdso: Drop Kconfig GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS

This commit is a cherry-pick of upstream bad53ae2dc42. It removes the
GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS Kconfig symbol and every select of it. TIME_NS now
depends on GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY instead.

[Severity: Low]
This patch removes config GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS, but the shipped x86_64
configs still set it. Should those two entries be dropped too?

configs/kernel-6.12.0-x86_64.config:
CONFIG_GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS=y

configs/kernel-6.12.0-x86_64-debug.config:
CONFIG_GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS=y

A git grep at the end of the series still finds the symbol in both files.
The series does remove it from config.vz10.minimal, so only these two files
remain.

Kconfig ignores unknown symbols during oldconfig and olddefconfig, so I
don't expect a build or runtime effect. A config-sync or diff check may
report the two lines as stale.
