musl: fix mips vdso handling

Browse source 
mips returns -ENOSYS in case it can not handle the vdso call and wants
the libc to call the original syscall in such a case. This fixes the
patch to add such handling. I hope this fixes the random reboots I got.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mips: add vdso support
@ -7,10 +7,32 @@ vdso support is available on mips starting with kernel 4.4, see kernel
commit a7f4df4e21 "MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday()
and clock_gettime()" for details.
In Linux kernel 4.4.0 the mips code returns -ENOSYS in case it can not
handle the vdso call and assumes the libc will call the original
syscall in this case. Handle this case in musl. Currently Linux kernel
4.4.0 handles the following types: CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
These are some measurements of calling clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
&tp); 1.000.000 times.
without vdso:
root@OpenWrt:/# time ./vdso-test
real 0m 0.95s
user 0m 0.24s
sys 0m 0.70s
with vdso:
root@OpenWrt:/# time /usr/bin/vdso-test
real 0m 0.35s
user 0m 0.34s
sys 0m 0.00s
