[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 038/606] powerpc/vdso32: Fallback on getres syscall when clock is unknown

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy at csgroup.eu>

commit e963b7a28b2bf2416304e1a15df967fcf662aff5 upstream.

There are other clocks than the standard ones, for instance
per process clocks. Therefore, being above the last standard clock
doesn't mean it is a bad clock. So, fallback to syscall instead
of returning -EINVAL inconditionaly.

Fixes: e33ffc956b08 ("powerpc/vdso32: implement clock_getres entirely")
