Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/vdso: link with -z noexecstack

With recent binutils, the following warning appears:

  VDSO32L arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
/opt/gcc-12.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/12.2.0/../../../../powerpc64-linux/bin/ld: warning: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/getcpu-32.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/opt/gcc-12.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/12.2.0/../../../../powerpc64-linux/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker

To avoid that, explicitely tell the linker we don't
want executable stack.

For more explanations, see commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso
and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments")
