x86/vdso: Set vDSO pointer only after success
Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping()
after the commit:
f7b6eb3fa072 ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing the mapping")
This is not required anymore as special mappings have their vma name and
don't use arch_vma_name() after commit:
a62c34bd2a8a ("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming")
So, this way to init looks less entangled.
I even belive that we can remove NULL initializers:
- on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread;
- arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall.
