Subject: [PATCH v19 04/10] vclock_gettime.c __vdso_clock_gettime cleanup

This patch is a small code cleanup for the __vdso_clock_gettime() function.

It removes the unneeded return values from do_monotonic_coarse() and
do_realtime_coarse() and add a fallback label for doing the kernel
gettimeofday() system call.
