This is possible because vdso_k_rng_data is now defined in the C source
on all platforms and under all configurations, even if
!CONFIG_VDSO_GETRANDOM means it's null? Whereas before, some config's
headers didn't have this at all, so the #ifdef was necessary?

If so, can you mention this in the commit message?
