While the driver for the Hyper-V Reference TSC and STIMERs is architecture
neutral, vDSO is implemented for x86/x64, but not for ARM64.  Current code
calls into utility functions under arch/x86 (and coming, under arch/arm64)
to handle the difference.

Change this approach to handle the difference inline based on whether
VDSO_CLOCK_MODE_HVCLOCK is present.  The new approach removes code under
arch/* since the difference is tied more to the specifics of the Linux
implementation than to the architecture.

No functional change.
A suggestion below

Is there any particular benefit (that I might not be recognizing)
to having the .enable function be NULL vs. a function that
does nothing?  I can see the handful of places where the
.enable function is invoked, and there doesn't seem to be
much difference.

In any case, I have no problem with making the change in
a v3 of the patch set.
It is just coding style, it allows to remove a #ifdef in the code.
