The libc provides a discovery mechanism for vDSO library and its
symbols. When a symbol is not exposed by the vDSOs the libc falls back
on the system calls.
With the introduction of the unified vDSO library on mips this behavior
is not honored anymore by the kernel in the case of gettimeofday().
The issue has been noticed and reported due to a dhclient failure on the
CI20 board:
root@letux:~# dhclient
../../../../lib/isc/unix/time.c:200: Operation not permitted
root@letux:~#
Restore the original behavior fixing gettimeofday() in the vDSO library.

With the release of Linux 5.1 has been added a new syscall,
clock_gettime64, that provided a 64 bit time value for a specified
clock_ID to make the kernel Y2038 safe on 32 bit architectures.
Update the mips32 specific vDSO library accordingly with what it has
been done for the kernel syscall exposing the clock_gettime64 entry
point.

The generic vDSO library provides an implementation of clock_getres()
that can be leveraged by each architecture.
Add clock_getres() entry point on mips.

The mips vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the
newly introduced generic vDSO library.
Introduce the following changes:
- Modification of vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
- Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday
