When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data page
is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data
page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at
commit 660fd04f9317 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support").

When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq
and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0
instead of the data they need.

To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page
and the global data is located on the following page.

Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add
PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when
clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro
instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle
it internally.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Fix __kernel_sync_dicache sequence with coherent icache</title>

Processors with coherent icache require the sequence sync ; icbi ; isync
to entire store-&gt;execute coherency. icbi (to any address) must be
executed to ensure isync flushes the pipeline. See "POWER9 Processor
User's Manual, 4.6.2.2 Instruction Cache Block Invalidate (icbi)" for
details.

__kernel_sync_dicache is missing icbi for the coherent icache path.
Add it.
