MIPS: VDSO: Add implementation of gettimeofday() fallback
This patch adds gettimeofday_fallback() function that wraps assembly invocation of gettimeofday() syscall using __NR_gettimeofday. This function is used if pure VDSO implementation gettimeofday() does not succeed for any reason. Its imeplementation is enclosed in "#ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL" to be in sync with the similar arrangement for __vdso_gettimeofday(). If syscall invocation via __NR_gettimeofday fails, register a3 will be set. So, after the syscall, register a3 is tested and the return valuem is negated if it's set.
