Message-ID <[email protected]>
Some code, for example clocksource drivers, may want to use the vDSO
clockmode constants even when CONFIG_GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY=n.
But the symbols are completely hidden in that case, making ugly
ifdeffery necessary.

Provide unlinkable dummy definitions. These can be used with
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY).

As not all architectures provide asm/vdso/clocksource.h,
provide an empty stub in asm-generic for it.
