[PATCHv8 02/34] lib/vdso: make do_hres and do_coarse as __always_inline

[Dmitry Safonov <dima@arista.com>]

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@gmail.com>

Performance numbers for Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz
(more clock_gettime() cycles - the better):

clock            | before     | after      | diff
----------------------------------------------------------
monotonic        |  153222105 |  166775025 | 8.8%
monotonic-coarse |  671557054 |  691513017 | 3.0%

boottime         |  153446224 |  166962668 | 9.1%

The improvement for arm64 for monotonic and boottime is around 3.5%.
