x86/vdso: Use .fault for the vDSO text mapping

Browse Source 
The old scheme for mapping the vDSO text is rather complicated.
vdso2c generates a struct vm_special_mapping and a blank .pages
array of the correct size for each vdso image.  Init code in
vdso/vma.c populates the .pages array for each vDSO image, and
the mapping code selects the appropriate struct
vm_special_mapping.

With .fault, we can use a less roundabout approach: vdso_fault()
just returns the appropriate page for the selected vDSO image.
