Although, time namespace can work with VVAR VMA split, it seems worth to forbid splitting VVAR resulting in stricter ABI and reducing amount of corner-cases to consider while working further on VDSO. I don't think there is any use-case for partial mremap() of vvar, but if there is any - this patch can be easily reverted.
