arm64: vdso: move data page before code pages
Andy pointed out that binutils generates additional sections in the vdso image (e.g. section string table) which, if our .text section gets big enough, could cross a page boundary and end up screwing up the location where the kernel expects to put the data page. This patch solves the issue in the same manner as x86_32, by moving the data page before the code pages.
