As reported by Leo; the existing implementation is broken when the
clock and counter don't intersect at 0.

Use the sched_clock's struct clock_read_data information to correctly
implement cap_user_time and cap_user_time_zero.

Note that the ARM64 counter is architecturally only guaranteed to be
56bit wide (implementations are allowed to be wider) and the existing
perf ABI cannot deal with wrap-around.

This implementation should also be faster than the old; seeing how we
don't need to recompute mult and shift all the time.

Thanks a lot for the patch set, some typos:

s/shift/time_shift

> +		userpg->shift = 31;

s/shift/time_shift

Thanks,
Leo

Blergh.. so much for me not taking the time to dig out the arm64 cross
compiler :/ Sorry about that.
