Christophe Leroy 6eda706a53 selftests: vDSO: fix the way vDSO functions are called for powerpc
vdso_test_correctness test fails on powerpc:

~ # ./vdso_test_correctness
...
[RUN]	Testing clock_gettime for clock CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM (8)...
[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22
[RUN]	Testing clock_gettime for clock CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM (9)...
[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22
[RUN]	Testing clock_gettime for clock CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE (10)...
[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22
...

[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22
[RUN]	Testing clock_gettime for clock invalid (-2147483648)...
[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22
[RUN]	Testing clock_gettime for clock invalid (2147483647)...
[FAIL]	No such clock, but __vdso_clock_gettime returned 22

On powerpc, a call to a VDSO function is not an ordinary C function
call. Unlike several architectures which returns a negative error code
in case of an error, powerpc sets CR[SO] and returns the error code
as a positive value.

Define and use a macro called VDSO_CALL() which takes a pointer
to the function to call, the number of arguments and the arguments.

Also update ABI vdso documentation to reflect this subtlety.

Provide a specific version of VDSO_CALL() for powerpc that negates
the error code on return when CR[SO] is set.
