Please keep the comment. You can move it close to VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK

See 
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html#conditional-compilation

You don't need #ifdefs here.

One solution is to define VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK to 0 in 
include/vdso/datapage.h after including asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h :

#ifndef VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK
#define VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK 0
#endif

Then

u64 vdso_calc_delta(u64 cycles, u64 last, u64 mask, u32 mult)
{
	if (VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK)
		mask = ~0ULL;

	return ((cycles - last) & mask) * mult;
}

or

u64 vdso_calc_delta(u64 cycles, u64 last, u64 mask, u32 mult)
{
	if (VDSO_DELTA_NOMASK)
		return (cycles - last) * mult;

	return ((cycles - last) & mask) * mult;
}
