This looks like it also needs a change to vvar_fault() in vdso.c.
The symbols are now always PAGE_SIZE_MAX apart, while vvar_fault() works
in page offsets (vmf->pgoff) that are based on the runtime PAGE_SIZE and
it expects hardcoded offsets.

As test you can use tools/testing/selftests/timens/timens.

(I can't test this right now, so it's only a suspicion)
