timekeeping/vsyscall: Prevent math overflow in BOOTTIME update
The VDSO update for CLOCK_BOOTTIME has a overflow issue as it shifts the nanoseconds based boot time offset left by the clocksource shift. That overflows once the boot time offset becomes large enough. As a consequence CLOCK_BOOTTIME in the VDSO becomes a random number causing applications to misbehave. Fix it by storing a timespec64 representation of the offset when boot time is adjusted and add that to the MONOTONIC base time value in the vdso data page. Using the timespec64 representation avoids a 64bit division in the update code.
