Andy Lutomirski e76b027e64 x86,vdso: Use LSL unconditionally for vgetcpu
LSL is faster than RDTSCP and works everywhere; there's no need to
switch between them depending on CPU.

* A handful of variables are accessible (read-only) from userspace
* code in the vsyscall page and the vdso. They are declared here.
* Some other file must define them with DEFINE_VVAR.
*
* In normal kernel code, they are used like any other variable.
* In user code, they are accessed through the VVAR macro.
*
* These variables live in a page of kernel data that has an extra RO
* mapping for userspace. Each variable needs a unique offset within
* that page; specify that offset with the DECLARE_VVAR macro. (If
* you mess up, the linker will catch it.)
