Place the branch with no concurrent write before the contended case.

Performance numbers for Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz
(more clock_gettime() cycles - the better):

00b26474c2 lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation 
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific
vdso implementations which contain very similar code.

Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be
shareable between architectures once they are converted over.

The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
