timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation

The new generic VDSO library allows to unify the update_vsyscall[_tz]()
implementations.

Provide a generic implementation based on the x86 code and the bindings
which need to be implemented in architecture specific code.

[ tglx: Moved it into kernel/time where it belongs. Removed the pointless
   line breaks in the stub functions. Massaged changelog ]
