x86/vdso: Disallow vvar access to vclock IO for never-used vclocks

It makes me uncomfortable that even modern systems grant every
process direct read access to the HPET.

While fixing this for real without regressing anything is a mess
(unmapping the HPET is tricky because we don't adequately track
all the mappings), we can do almost as well by tracking which
vclocks have ever been used and only allowing pages associated
with used vclocks to be faulted in.

This will cause rogue programs that try to peek at the HPET to
get SIGBUS instead on most systems.

We can't restrict faults to vclock pages that are associated
with the currently selected vclock due to a race: a process
could start to access the HPET for the first time and race
against a switch away from the HPET as the current clocksource.
We can't segfault the process trying to peek at the HPET in this
case, even though the process isn't going to do anything useful
with the data.
