Stop updating the struct vdso_timehands from even handler executed in

Description

Stop updating the struct vdso_timehands from even handler executed in
the scheduled task from tc_windup(). Do it directly from tc_windup in
interrupt context [1].

Establish the permanent mapping of the shared page into the kernel
address space, avoiding the potential need to sleep waiting for
allocation of sf buffer during vdso_timehands update. As a
consequence, shared_page_write_start() and shared_page_write_end()
functions are not needed anymore.

Guess and memorize the pointers to native host and compat32 sysentvec
during initialization, to avoid the need to get shared_page_alloc_sx
lock during the update.

In tc_fill_vdso_timehands(), do not loop waiting for timehands
generation to stabilize, since vdso_timehands is written in the same
interrupt context which wrote timehands.
