mainlining shenanigans

pvti_cpu0_va is the address of shared kvmclock data structure.
pvti_cpu0_va is currently kept unset (1) on 32 bit systems, (2) when
kvmclock vsyscall is disabled, and (3) if kvmclock is not stable.
This poses a problem, because kvm_ptp needs pvti_cpu0_va, but (1) can
work on 32 bit, (2) has little relation to the vsyscall, and (3) does
not need stable kvmclock (although kvmclock won't be used for system
clock if it's not stable, so kvm_ptp is pointless in that case).
Expose pvti_cpu0_va whenever kvmclock is enabled to allow all users to
work with it.
This fixes a regression found on Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/658544.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
