Benjamin Herrenschmidt pointed out that I firuther missed
modifying update_vsyscall after the wall_to_mono value was
changed to a timespec64. This causes issues on powerpc32,
which expects a 32bit timespec.

This patch fixes the problem my properly converting from
a timespec64 to a timespec before passing the value on to
the arch-specific vsyscall logic.

Other than that, please add my Reviewed-by, and send it to Linus
either as patch or pull request as I'm really in vacation mode NOW.
