x86/vdso: Error out if the vDSO isn't a valid DSO
Some distros has been playing with toolchain changes that can affect
the type of ELF objects built. Occasionally, this goes wrong and
the vDSO ends up not being a DSO at all. This causes the kernel to
end up broken in a surprisingly subtle way -- glibc apparently
silently ignores a vDSO that isn't a DSO, so everything works,
albeit slowly, until users try a different libc implementation.
Make the kernel build process a bit more robust: fail outright if
the vDSO isn't ET_DYN or is missing its PT_DYNAMIC segment. I've
never seen this in an unmodified kernel.
