[RFC PATCH 6/8] arm64: elf: Set AT_SYSINFO_EHDR in compat processes

If the compat vDSO is enabled, we need to set AT_SYSINFO_EHDR in the
auxiliary vector of compat processes to the address of the vDSO, so
that userspace (libc) can find it (just like the regular vDSO).

Note that we use a cast to unsigned long because elf_addr_t is 32-bit
in compat_binfmt_elf.c, triggering a pointer narrowing warning.
