This series wires up getrandom() vDSO implementation on powerpc.

Tested on PPC32.

Performance on powerpc 885 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 2500000 times in 7.897495392 seconds
	   libc: 2500000 times in 56.091632232 seconds
	syscall: 2500000 times in 55.704851989 seconds

Performance on powerpc 8321 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 2500000 times in 2.017183250 seconds
	   libc: 2500000 times in 13.088533630 seconds
	syscall: 2500000 times in 12.952458068 seconds

Only build tested on PPC64. There is a problem with vdso_test_getrandom
selftest, it doesn't find vDSO symbol __kernel_getrandom. There is the
same problem with vdso_test_gettimeofday so it is not related to
getrandom.

On strange things to be clarified, there is the format of the key passed
to __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack(). In struct vgetrandom_state it is
declared as a table of u32, but in reality it seems it is a flat storage
that needs to be loaded in reversed byte order, so it should either be
defined as a table of bytes, or as a table of __le32 but not a table of
u32. But this has no impact and can be clarified later and fixed in a
follow-up patch.

Changes in v2:
- Define VM_DROPPABLE for powerpc/32
- Fixes generic vDSO getrandom headers to enable CONFIG_COMPAT build.
- Fixed size of generation counter
- Fixed selftests to work on non x86 architectures
