Subject: [PATCH] arm64: vdso: Fix "no previous prototype" warning

If compiling the arm64 kernel with W=1 the following warning is produced:

| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:9:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_clock_gettime’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|     9 | int __kernel_clock_gettime(clockid_t clock,
|       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:15:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_gettimeofday’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|    15 | int __kernel_gettimeofday(struct __kernel_old_timeval *tv,
|       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:21:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__kernel_clock_getres’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
|    21 | int __kernel_clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id,
|       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This patch removes "-Wmissing-prototypes" and "-Wmissing-declarations" compilers
flags from the compilation of vgettimeofday.c to make possible to build the
kernel with CONFIG_WERROR enabled.
