[PATCH v3 1/2] x86/vdso: Move mult and shift into struct vgtod_ts

From: Sverdlin, Alexander (Nokia - DE/Ulm)

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx>

This is a preparation for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW vDSO implementation.
Coincidentally it had a slight performance improvement as well:

---- Test code ----
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define CLOCK_TYPE CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
#define DURATION_SEC 10

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct timespec t, end;
unsigned long long cnt = 0;

clock_gettime(CLOCK_TYPE, &end);
end.tv_sec += DURATION_SEC;

do {
clock_gettime(CLOCK_TYPE, &t);
++cnt;
} while (t.tv_sec < end.tv_sec || t.tv_nsec < end.tv_nsec);

dprintf(STDOUT_FILENO, "%llu", cnt);

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
-------------------

The results from the above test program:
