[RFC][PATCH 3/4] arm64: vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

Commit 45a7905fc48f ("arm64: vdso: defer shifting of nanosecond
component of timespec") fixed sub-ns inaccuracies in our vDSO
clock_gettime implementation by deferring the right-shift of the
nanoseconds components until after the timespec addition, which
operates on left-shifted values. That worked nicely until
support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in 49eea433b326
("arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime()
vDSO"). Noticing that the core timekeeping code never set
tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, the vDSO implementation didn't bother
exposing it via the data page and instead took the unshifted
tk->raw_time.tv_nsec value which was then immediately shifted
left in the vDSO code.

Now that the core code is actually setting tkr_raw.xtime_nsec,
we need to take that into account in the vDSO by adding it to
the shifted raw_time value. Rather than do that at each use (and
expand the data page in the process), instead perform the
shift/addition operation when populating the data page and
remove the shift from the vDSO code entirely.
