arm64: vdso: prevent ld from aligning PT_LOAD segments to 64k

Browse Source 
Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF
headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to
demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k
(the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address
picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This
causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from
memory" when attempting to load the VDSO.

This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning
PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size.
