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

Tested on PPC32 on real hardware.
Tested on PPC64 (both BE and LE) on QEMU:

Performance on powerpc 885:
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 25000000 times in 62.938002291 seconds
	   libc: 25000000 times in 535.581916866 seconds
	syscall: 25000000 times in 531.525042806 seconds

Performance on powerpc 8321:
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 25000000 times in 16.899318858 seconds
	   libc: 25000000 times in 131.050596522 seconds
	syscall: 25000000 times in 129.794790389 seconds

Performance on QEMU pseries:
	~ # ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 25000000 times in 4.977777162 seconds
	   libc: 25000000 times in 75.516749981 seconds
	syscall: 25000000 times in 86.842242014 seconds

In order to run selftests, some fixes are needed, see
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/6c5da802e72befecfa09046c489aa45d934d611f.1725020674.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/

Those selftest fixes are independant and are not required to apply
and use this series.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased on recent random git tree (0c7e00e22c21)
- Fixed build failures reported by robots around VM_DROPPABLE
- Fixed crash on PPC64 due to clobbered r13 by not using r13 anymore (saving it was not enough for signals).
- Split final patch in two, first for PPC32, second for PPC64
- Moved selftest fixes out of this series

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
