__cvdso_time() can be found in vDSO implementation,
but the symbols for time() are not exported.

Export the symbols and run bionic-benchmarks.

v2:
- add prototypes in both vgettimeofday.c
- use __kernel_old_time_t instead of time_t

I don't understand this: neither arm nor arm64 offer the time() syscall
afaict, so the C library should be implementing it in terms of
clock_gettime() anyway, which _is_ implemented in the vDSO.

What's am I missing?

But my point is it should _already_ be using the vDSO implementation of
clock_gettime(), which should be plenty fast enough.
