Subject: [PATCH 10/11] vdso: Drop kconfig GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS

All architectures implementing time-related functionality in the vDSO are
using the generic vDSO library which handles time namespaces properly.

Remove the now unnecessary kconfig symbol.

Enables the use of time namespaces on architectures, which use the
generic vDSO but did not enable GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS, namely MIPS and arm.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@...utronix.de>

---
Technically this is still too restrictive, as it prevents architectures
without a real vDSO to enable CONFIG_TIME_NS. Right now this restriction
only protects the SPARC vDSO. I have patches to drop it completely,
as soon as SPARC is usingthe generic vDSO.
