ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch .  This arch needs to place a
read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page.  This read only copy is
named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in
arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias.  So the declaration of
xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define,
defined to true on x86_64.

We can get same result with _attribute__((weak)) in the declaration. linker
should do the job.
