This reverts commit f2af201002a8bc22500c04cc474ea480bf361351.

It added a usage of cc-ldoption, but cc-ldoption was removed in commit
055efab3120b ("kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption").

<title>powerpc/vdso32: Fallback on getres syscall when clock is unknown</title>

<content type='text'>
There are other clocks than the standard ones, for instance
per process clocks. Therefore, being above the last standard clock
doesn't mean it is a bad clock. So, fallback to syscall instead
of returning -EINVAL inconditionaly.

<title>powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()</title>

<id>ec0895f08f99515194e9fcfe1338becf6f759d38</id>
<content type='text'>
__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the
address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO.

By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and
a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves.

The improvement is noticeable (about 55 nsec/call on an 8xx)

vdsotest before the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 731 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 668 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 745 nsec/call

vdsotest after the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 677 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 613 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 690 nsec/call
