arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
commit dbb236c1 upstream. Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in 49eea433 ("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.
