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.
