The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making
maintenance easier.

VDSO time functions do not call any other function, so they don't
need to save/restore LR. However, retrieving the address of VDSO data
page requires using LR hence saving then restoring it, which can be
heavy on some CPUs. On the other hand, VDSO functions on powerpc are
not standard functions and require a wrapper function to call C VDSO
functions. And that wrapper has to save and restore LR in order to
call the C VDSO function, so retrieving VDSO data page address in that
wrapper doesn't require additional save/restore of LR.
For random VDSO functions it is a bit different. Because the function
calls __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack(), it saves and restores LR.
Retrieving VDSO data page address can then be done there without
additional save/restore of LR.
So lets implement __arch_get_vdso_rng_data() and simplify the wrapper.
It starts paving the way for the day powerpc will implement a more
standard ABI for VDSO functions.

To be consistent with other VDSO functions, the function is called
__kernel_getrandom()
__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() fonction is implemented basically
with 32 bits operations. It performs 4 QUARTERROUND operations in
parallele. There are enough registers to avoid using the stack:
On input:
r3: output bytes
r4: 32-byte key input
r5: 8-byte counter input/output
r6: number of 64-byte blocks to write to output
During operation:
stack: pointer to counter (r5) and non-volatile registers (r14-131)
r0: counter of blocks (initialised with r6)
r4: Value '4' after key has been read, used for indexing
r5-r12: key
r14-r15: block counter
r16-r31: chacha state
At the end:
r0, r6-r12: Zeroised
r5, r14-r31: Restored

This first patch adds support for VDSO32. As selftests cannot easily
be generated only for VDSO32, and because the following patch brings
support for VDSO64 anyway, this patch opts out all code in
__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() so that vdso_test_chacha will not
fail to compile and will not crash on PPC64/PPC64LE, allthough the
selftest itself will fail.
