Subject: [PATCH v3] x86,vdso: Use LSL unconditionally for vgetcpu

LSL is faster than RDTSCP and works everywhere; there's no need to
switch between them depending on CPU.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

This applies to tip/x86/vdso.  It was 8/8 of the series that the seven
most recent commits in that branch came from :)

Changes from v2: Dropped #undef CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_STATIC_CPU_HAS (Andi Kleen)

Changes from v1: Use LSL unconditionally (drop static_cpu_has)
