timekeeping/vsyscall: Provide vdso_update_begin/end()

Architectures can have the requirement to add additional architecture
specific data to the VDSO data page which needs to be updated independent
of the timekeeper updates.

To protect these updates vs. concurrent readers and a conflicting update
through timekeeping, provide helper functions to make such updates safe.

vdso_update_begin() takes the timekeeper_lock to protect against a
potential update from timekeeper code and increments the VDSO sequence
count to signal data inconsistency to concurrent readers. vdso_update_end()
makes the sequence count even again to signal data consistency and drops
the timekeeper lock.

[ Sven: Add interrupt disable handling to the functions ]
