x86/vdso: Fake 32bit VDSO build on 64bit compile for vgetcpu

The 64bit register constrains in __arch_hweight64() cannot be
fulfilled in a 32-bit build. The function is only declared but not used
within vclock_gettime.c and gcc does not care. LLVM complains and
aborts. Reportedly because it validates extended asm even if latter
would get compiled out, see

https://lore.kernel.org/r/Y%2BJ%2BUQ1vAKr6RHuH@dev-arch.thelio-3990X

i.e., a long standing design difference between gcc and LLVM.

Move the "fake a 32 bit kernel configuration" bits from vclock_gettime.c
into a common header file. Use this from vclock_gettime.c and vgetcpu.c.
