Subject: [PATCH 3.16 110/346] tile: Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Hogan <james.hogan@...tec.com>

commit cdf8b4633075f2171d440d2e37c9c2609019a81a upstream.

AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for tile at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT for
the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which tile doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.
