sparc: vDSO: fix return value of __setup handler
[ Upstream commit 5378f00c935bebb846b1fdb0e79cb76c137c56b5 ]
__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) argument or environment
strings. Also, error return codes don't mean anything to
obsolete_checksetup() -- only non-zero (usually 1) or zero.
So return 1 from vdso_setup().
