arm64: vdso: Build vDSO with -ffixed-x18

The vDSO needs to be built with x18 reserved in order to accommodate
userspace platform ABIs built on top of Linux that use the register
to carry inter-procedural state, as provided for by the AAPCS.
An example of such a platform ABI is the one that will be used by an
upcoming version of Android.

Although this change is currently a no-op due to the fact that the vDSO
is currently implemented in pure assembly on arm64, it is necessary
in order to prepare for using the generic C implementation of the vDSO.
