The arm_arch_timer requires that VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER to be
defined to compile correctly. On arm the vDSO can be disabled and when
this is the case the compilation ends prematurely with an error:

 $ make ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig
 $ ./scripts/config -d VDSO
 $ make

 drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c:73:44: error:
 ‘VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER’ undeclared here (not in a function)
 static enum vdso_clock_mode vdso_default = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER;
                                            ^

This patch series addresses the issue defining a default arch clockmode
for arm and arm64 and using it to initialize the arm_arch_timer.

Changes:
--------
v2:
  - Addressed Marc Zyngier comments.
  - Rebased on 5.6-rc2.
