So if we have not yet added the 32-bit vdso but have added the 64-bit vdso,
we will return the wrong one.

Can we check it? e.g.

if (!dso)
dso = __dsos__find(&machine->dsos, DSO__NAME_VDSO,
true);
if (dso_type != dso__type(dso, machine))
dso = NULL;

The x32 vdso is never called DSO__NAME_VDSO so this is not correct, but for
the same reason we don't need this __dsos__find() anyway.
