[PATCH 4/4] arm64: vdso: remove pointless gcov option

[Mark Rutland]

The arm64 VDSO Makefile explicitly disables gcov; a practice we seem to
have inherited from other VDSO Makefiles.

The arm64 VDSO is written entirely in assembly, so this is not
necessary. Further, if the VDSO were written in C it would be necessary
to disable all other instrumentation, and this alone would not be
sufficient.

This patch remosves the redundant GCOV option for now.
