Will Deacon dbb236c1ce arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in
49eea433b3 ("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.

Unfortunately, by accellerating the MONOTONIC_RAW clockid, it
uncovered potential 1ns time inconsistencies caused by the
timekeeping core not handing sub-ns resolution.

Now that the core code has been fixed and 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, in order to
fix the user-visible inconsistency. 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.

[jstultz: minor whitespace tweak, tried to improve commit
 message to make it more clear this fixes a regression]
