clock_gettime: add support for 32-bit vdso with 64-bit time_t

this fixes a major upcoming performance regression introduced by
commit 72f50245d018af0c31b38dec83c557a4e5dd1ea8, whereby 32-bit archs
would lose vdso clock_gettime after switching to 64-bit time_t, unless
the kernel supports time64 and provides a time64 version of the vdso
function. this would incur not just one but two syscalls: first, the
failed time64 syscall, then the fallback time32 one.

overflow of the 32-bit result is detected and triggers a revert to
syscalls. normally, on a system that's not Y2038-ready, this would
still overflow, but if the process has been migrated to a
time64-capable kernel or if the kernel has been hot-patched to add
time64 syscalls, it may conceivably work.
