Subject: [PATCH v1 5/6] powerpc/vdso: Declare constant vars as __ro_after_init

To avoid any risk of modification of vital VDSO variables,
declare them __ro_after_init.

vdso32_kbase and vdso64_kbase could be made 'const', but it would
have high impact on all functions using them as the compiler doesn't
expect const property to be discarded.
