SubjectRE: [patch 08/15] x86/vdso: Move VDSO clocksource state tracking to callback

> mode storage to mark the clocksource as used in the VDSO. That's silly
> because this is invoked on every tick when the VDSO data is updated.
>
> Move this functionality to the clocksource::enable() callback so it gets
> invoked once when the clocksource is installed. This allows to make the
> clock mode storage generic.
