x86/vdso: Error out if the vDSO isn't a valid DSO
Some distros has been playing with toolchain changes that can affect the type of ELF objects built. Occasionally, this goes wrong and the vDSO ends up not being a DSO at all. This causes the kernel to end up broken in a surprisingly subtle way -- glibc apparently silently ignores a vDSO that isn't a DSO, so everything works, albeit slowly, until users try a different libc implementation. Make the kernel build process a bit more robust: fail outright if the vDSO isn't ET_DYN or is missing its PT_DYNAMIC segment. I've never seen this in an unmodified kernel.
