Currently the vDSO selftests use the time-related types from libc.
This works on glibc by chance today but will break with other libc
implementations or on distributions which switch to 64-bit times
everywhere.
The kernel's UAPI headers provide the proper types to use with the vDSO
(and raw syscalls) but are not necessarily compatible with libc types.
Introduce a new header which makes the UAPI headers compatible with the
libc.
Also contains some related cleanups.

The `FIXTURE(args)` macro defines an empty `struct _test_data_args`,
leading to `sizeof(struct _test_data_args)` evaluating to 0. This
caused a build error due to a compiler warning on a `memset` call
with a zero size argument.
Adding a dummy member to the struct ensures its size is non-zero,
resolving the build issue.

2.52.0.rc1.455.g30608eb744-goog
test_memcg_sock() currently requires that memory.stat's "sock " counter
is exactly zero immediately after the TCP server exits. On a busy system
this assumption is too strict:
- Socket memory may be freed with a small delay (e.g. RCU callbacks).
- memcg statistics are updated asynchronously via the rstat flushing
worker, so the "sock " value in memory.stat can stay non-zero for a
short period of time even after all socket memory has been uncharged.
As a result, test_memcg_sock() can intermittently fail even though socket
memory accounting is working correctly.
Make the test more robust by polling memory.stat for the "sock "
counter and allowing it some time to drop to zero instead of checking
it only once. The timeout is set to 3 seconds to cover the periodic
rstat flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2*HZ by default) plus some
scheduling slack. If the counter does not become zero within the
timeout, the test still fails as before.
On my test system, running test_memcontrol 50 times produced:
- Before this patch: 6/50 runs passed.
- After this patch: 50/50 runs passed.

v2:
- Mention the periodic rstat flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2*HZ) in
the comment and clarify the rationale for the 3s timeout.
- Replace the hard-coded retry count and wait interval with macros
to avoid magic numbers and make the 3s timeout calculation explicit.
