x86: Remove vsyscall usageazanella/vdso-cleanup

This patch removes the vsyscall usage for x86_64 port.  As indicated
by kernel code comments [1], vsyscalls are a legacy ABI and its concept
is problematic:

- It interferes with ASLR.
- It's awkward to write code that lives in kernel addresses but is
  callable by userspace at fixed addresses.
- The whole concept is impossible for 32-bit compat userspace.
- UML cannot easily virtualize a vsyscall.

The VDSO is a better approach for such functionality.
