[PATCH v1 3/4] arm64/vdso: Enable SFrame generation in vDSO

[Jens Remus]

This replicates Josh's x86 patch "x86/vdso: Enable sframe generation
in VDSO" [1] for arm64.

Enable .sframe generation in the vDSO library so kernel and user space
can unwind through it.  Keep all function symbols in the vDSO .symtab
for stack trace purposes.  This enables perf to lookup these function
symbols in addition to those already exported in vDSO .dynsym.

Starting with binutils 2.46 both GNU assembler and GNU linker
exclusively support generating and merging .sframe in SFrame V3 format.
For vDSO, only if supported by the assembler, generate .sframe, collect
it, mark it as KEEP, and generate a GNU_SFRAME program table entry.
Otherwise explicitly discard any .sframe.

Notes (jremus):
    @Dylan:  Adding -Wa,--gsframe-3 to the VDSO CC_FLAGS_ADD_VDSO (and
    AS_FLAGS_ADD_VDSO) may clash with your patch [1] that adds likewise
    to the CC_FLAGS_REMOVE_VDSO.  Any idea how to resolve?
