This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host kernels. init would hang with an infinite segfault loop. It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of 0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be reused. However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and was unmapped as a result. Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to use the VDSO. The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to use the host's VDSO.
