time: x86: Fix race switching from vsyscall to non-vsyscall clock

When switching from a vsyscall capable to a non-vsyscall capable
clocksource, there was a small race, where the last vsyscall
gettimeofday before the switch might return a invalid time value
using the new non-vsyscall enabled clocksource values after the
switch is complete.

This is due to the vsyscall code checking the vclock_mode once
outside of the seqcount protected section. After it reads the
vclock mode, it doesn't re-check that the sampled clock data
that is obtained in the seqcount critical section still matches.

The fix is to sample vclock_mode inside the protected section,
and as long as it isn't VCLOCK_NONE, return the calculated
value. If it has changed and is now VCLOCK_NONE, fall back
to the syscall gettime calculation.

v2:
  * Cleanup checks as suggested by tglx
  * Also fix same issue present in gettimeofday path
