[PATCH] powerpc/vdso64: inline __get_datapage()

__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the
address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO.

By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and
a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves.

Based on the patch by Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy at c-s.fr> for vdso32.

except for a couple of calls (1 or 2 nsec reduction), there are no
improvements in the call times. Or is 10 nsec the minimum granularity??

So I don't know if its even worth updating vdso64 except to keep vdso32 and
vdso64 equal.
