Subject: [patch 01/15] lib/vdso: Make __arch_update_vdso_data() logic understandable

The function name suggests that this is a boolean checking whether the
architecture asks for an update of the VDSO data, but it works the other
way round. To spare further confusion invert the logic.

Fixes: 44f57d788e7d ("timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation")
