PATCH v5 1/12 arm: vdso: rename vdso_datapage variables

Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <[email protected]>, rework it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify future maintenance.

Rename seq_count to tb_seq_count. Rename tk_is_cntvct to use_syscall. Rename cs_mult to cs_mono_mult. All to align with the variables in the arm64 vdso datapage. Rework vdso_read_begin() and vdso_read_retry() functions to reflect modern access patterns for tb_seq_count field.
