[patch 4/4] Make COMPAT_VDSO runtime selectable.

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
compat mode at runtime.

This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
kernel command line, or via sysctl.  (Switching on a running system
shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)

The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.
