    BZ #16418: Fix powerpc get_clockfreq raciness

    This patch fix powerpc __get_clockfreq racy and cancel-safe issues by
    dropping internal static cache and by using nocancel file operations.
    The vDSO failure check is also removed, since kernel code does not
    return an error (it cleans cr0.so bit on function return) and the static
    code (to read value /proc) now uses non-cancellable calls.
