Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] powerpc/vdso: Don't rely on vdso_pages being 0 for
 failure

If vdso initialisation failed, vdso_ready is not set.
Otherwise, vdso_pages is only 0 when it is a 32 bits task
and CONFIG_VDSO32 is not selected.

As arch_setup_additional_pages() now bails out directly in
that case, we don't need to set vdso_pages to 0.
