Subject: [PATCH] x86/vdso: ensure vdso32_enabled gets set to valid values only

If either via kernel command line 'vdso32=' or via 'sysctl abi.vsyscall32'
vdso32_enabled gets set to a value below 0 or above 1, load_vdso32() won't
map the vDSO but ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 would still pass an AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
auxiliary vector, however with a NULL pointer. That'll make any program
trying to make use of it fail with a segmentation fault. At least musl
makes use of it if the kernel provides it.

Ensure vdso32_enabled gets set to valid values only to fix this corner
case.
