Subject: [PATCH v4 18/24] riscv: vdso: Disable LTO for the vDSO

All the other architectures supporting LTO (x86, arm64, loongarch) do not
use it for the vDSO.

Its is problematic for some upcoming compile-time validation of the
generated object code.
The LTO object files do not contain the necessary relocation information
and -flto-fat-objects is not compatible with clang < 16.

For consistency and to enable the mentioned compile-time checks,
disable LTO for the vDSO.
The vDSO heavily uses __always_inline anyways.
