x86-64: Give vvars their own page

Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark
it NX.

Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call
some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say,
0xCD80, and then execute the current time.

x86-64: Fix alignment of jiffies variable

It's declared __attribute__((aligned(16)) but it's explicitly
not aligned. This is probably harmless but it's a bit
embarrassing.

x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables

Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.

This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.

The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.

While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.
