Although the arm64 vDSO is cleanly separated by code/data with the
code being read-only in userspace mappings, the code page is still
writable from the kernel. There have been exploits (such as
http://itszn.com/blog/?p=21) that take advantage of this on x86 to go
from a bad kernel write to full root.
Prevent this specific exploit on arm64 by putting the vDSO code page
in read-only memory as well.

This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is
currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday()
(using the user-accessible generic counter).
