Subject: [PATCH] [STABLE backport 4.9] arm64, vdso: Define vdso_{start,end} as array

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

Commit dbbb08f500d6146398b794fdc68a8e811366b451 upstream.

Adjust vdso_{start|end} to be char arrays to avoid compile-time analysis
that flags "too large" memcmp() calls with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Backported to 4.4, which predates the rework from
2077be6783b5 ("arm64: Use __pa_symbol for kernel symbols") and
5a9e3e156ec1 ("arm64: apply __ro_after_init to some objects")
