[PATCH 4.4 001/113] x86/vdso: Use RDPID in preference to LSL when available

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit a582c540ac1b10f0a7d37415e04c4af42409fd08 upstream.

RDPID is a new instruction that reads MSR_TSC_AUX quickly. This
should be considerably faster than reading the GDT. Add a
cpufeature for it and use it from __vdso_getcpu() when available.
