[RFC PATCH 8/8] arm64: Wire up and expose the new compat vDSO

[Kevin Brodsky]

Expose the new compat vDSO via the COMPAT_VDSO config option.

The option is not enabled by default for two reasons:

* The vDSO page replaces the vector page. The vDSO provides its own
  sigreturn trampolines, replacing those in the vector page, but the
  kuser helpers are gone. As a result enabling the compat vDSO will
  break userspace programs relying on the kuser helpers.

* We really need a 32-bit compiler this time, and we rely on the user
  to provide it themselves by setting CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32. Therefore
  enabling the option by default would make little sense, since the
  user must explicitly set an environment variable anyway.

CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is not directly used in the code, because we want
to ignore it (build as if it were not set) if the user didn't set
CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 properly. If the variable has been set to a valid
prefix, CONFIG_VDSO32 will be set; this is the option that the code
and Makefiles will test.
