[PATCH v2] selftests: vdso_test: support ARM64 targets

[Greg Hackmann]

ARM64's vDSO exports its gettimeofday() implementation with a different
name (__kernel_gettimeofday) and version (LINUX_2.6.39) from other
architectures.  Add a corresponding special-case to vdso_test.

Changes since v1:
 * Moved definitions outside main()
 * Added a comment explaining the special case

That was fast. Applied to linux-kselftest next for 4.15-rc1
