We can do

1. Add ARCH_X86_DISABLE_VSYSCALL to disable the vsyscall page.
2. If CPU supports CET and the program is CET enabled:
    a. Disable the vsyscall page.
    b. Pass control to user.
    c. Enable the vsyscall page when ARCH_X86_CET_DISABLE is called.

So when control is passed from kernel to user, the vsyscall page is
disabled if the program
is CET enabled.
