Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam

- Use the ALARM feature check in the alarmtimer core code insted of
the old method of checking for the set_alarm() callback. Drivers
can have that callback set but the feature bit cleared. If such
a RTC device is selected then alarms wont work.
- Use a proper define to let the preprocessor check whether Hyper-V VDSO
clocksource should be active. The code used a constant in an enum with
#ifdef, which evaluates to always false and disabled the clocksource
for VDSO.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for timers:
- Use the ALARM feature check in the alarmtimer core code insted of
the old method of checking for the set_alarm() callback.
Drivers can have that callback set but the feature bit cleared. If
such a RTC device is selected then alarms wont work.
- Use a proper define to let the preprocessor check whether Hyper-V
VDSO clocksource should be active.
The code used a constant in an enum with #ifdef, which evaluates to
always false and disabled the clocksource for VDSO"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
