Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86: Cleanup vdso-layout.lds.S

Make the following changes:
  - move linker-generated sections out of .data
  - add all (even theoretically) possible rodata, data and text input
    sections to their respective output sections
  - discard .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacements

Since the .altinstructions section is currently not used anyway, this
is a pure cleanup.
