Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix memory leak of init_vdso_vars()

From: Zhitong Wang <wzt.wzt@...il.com>

If init_vdso_vars ran out of memory (not very likely), then it would
leak a few pages as well.

Also rename init_vdso_vars to just init_vdso, since initializing
vvars is just about the only thing this function doesn't do.

[Rebased and slightly simplified from the original.]
