cover Update vDSO examples for 32-bit systems

We have useful code in the 32-bit x86 vDSO now; update the sample code.

Despite the late submission, this might be 3.16 material: it's just documentation. If I'd been more on top of this, I would have done it for 3.15.

PATCH 1/2 doc,vdso: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c

This thing is hopelessly x86_64-specific: it's an example of how to access the vDSO without any runtime support at all.

PATCH 2/2 doc,vdso: Make vDSO examples more portable

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

This adds a new vdso_test.c that's written entirely in C. It also makes all of the vDSO examples work on 32-bit x86.
