Ian Lance Taylor 419c06455a runtime: get traceback from VDSO code
Currently if a profiling signal arrives while executing within a VDSO
the profiler will report _ExternalCode, which is needlessly confusing
for a pure Go program. Change the VDSO calling code to record the
caller's PC/SP, so that we can do a traceback from that point. If that
fails for some reason, report _VDSO rather than _ExternalCode, which
should at least point in the right direction.

This adds some instructions to the code that calls the VDSO, but the
slowdown is reasonably negligible:

name                                  old time/op  new time/op  delta
ClockVDSOAndFallbackPaths/vDSO-8      40.5ns ± 2%  41.3ns ± 1%  +1.85%  (p=0.002 n=10+10)
ClockVDSOAndFallbackPaths/Fallback-8  41.9ns ± 1%  43.5ns ± 1%  +3.84%  (p=0.000 n=9+9)
TimeNow-8                             41.5ns ± 3%  41.5ns ± 2%    ~     (p=0.723 n=10+10)

Fixes #24142
