[PATCH v2 02/14] selftests: vDSO: Introduce vdso_types.h

["Thomas Weißschuh" <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>]

Currently the vDSO selftests use the time-related types from libc.
This works on glibc by chance today but will break with other libc
implementations or on distributions which switch to 64-bit times
everywhere.

The kernel's UAPI headers provide the proper types to use with the vDSO
(and raw syscalls) but are not necessarily compatible with libc types.
Introduce a new header which makes the UAPI headers compatible with the
libc.

Tested with glibc, musl and nolibc.
