Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for the generic VDSO code which missed 5.5:

   - Make the update to the coarse timekeeper unconditional.

     This is required because the coarse timekeeper interfaces in the
     VDSO do not depend on a VDSO capable clocksource. If the system
     does not have a VDSO capable clocksource and the update is
     depending on the VDSO capable clocksource, the coarse VDSO
     interfaces would operate on stale data forever.

   - Invert the logic of __arch_update_vdso_data() to avoid further head
     scratching.

     Tripped over this several times while analyzing the update problem
     above"
