[PATCH] arm64: vdso: remove commas between macro name and arguments

I should've mentioned this patch is for 4.19 only as the code has been
rewritten in later versions, but requires a large amount of backports
(https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1349). This is the
only blocker for 4.19 migration to LLVM's integrated assembler on CrOS
that I am aware of.

Thanks,
Jian
