Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] vdso: allow to add architecture-specific vdso data

Add the possibility to add architecture specific vDSO
data to struct vdso_data. This is useful if the arch specific
user space VDSO code needs additional data during execution.
If CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA is defined, the generic code will
include asm/vdso/data.h which should contain 'struct arch_vdso_data'.
This structure will be embedded in the generic vDSO data.
