x86 vDSO: use vdso-syms.lds
This patch changes the kernel's references to addresses in the vDSO image to be based on the symbols defined by vdso-syms.lds instead of the old vdso-syms.o symbols. This is all wrapped up in a macro defined by the new asm-x86/vdso.h header; that's the only place in the kernel source that has to know the details of the scheme for getting vDSO symbol values.
