[PATCH RESEND v1 1/4] lib/vdso: Mark do_hres_timens() and do_coarse_timens() __always_inline()

In the same spirit as commit c966533f8c6c ("lib/vdso: Mark do_hres()
and do_coarse() as __always_inline"), mark do_hres_timens() and
do_coarse_timens() __always_inline.

The measurement below in on a non timens process, ie on the fastest path.

On powerpc32, without the patch:

clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 1155 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 813 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 1076 nsec/call

With the patch:

clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 1100 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 667 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 1025 nsec/call
