s390/vdso: drop '-fPIC' from LDFLAGS
[ Upstream commit 0628c03934187be33942580e10bb9afcc61adeed ]
'-fPIC' as an option to the linker does not do what it seems like it
should. With ld.bfd, it is treated as '-f PIC', which does not make
sense based on the meaning of '-f':
-f SHLIB, --auxiliary SHLIB Auxiliary filter for shared object symbol table
When building with ld.lld (currently under review in a GitHub pull
request), it just errors out because '-f' means nothing and neither does
'-fPIC':
ld.lld: error: unknown argument '-fPIC'
'-fPIC' was blindly copied from CFLAGS when the vDSO stopped being
linked with '$(CC)', it should not be needed. Remove it to clear up the
build failure with ld.lld.
Fixes: 2b2a25845d53 ("s390/vdso: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link vDSO")
