[CRIU] [RFC v2 1/7] mm: Provide generic VDSO unmap and remap functions

When Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR, randmaps) is enabled, the
address of the VDSO fluctuates from one process to the next. If
Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace (CRIU) is to fully replicate the memory map
of a previous process, it must be able to remap the VDSO of a new process
to the address used by the previous process. Historically this has been
implemented in architecture-specific code for PowerPC and x86. In order to
support 32-bit and 64-bit ARM without further duplication of code, copy
Laurent Dufour's implementation for PowerPC with slight modifications to a
generic location. This is hopefully the beginning of a long process of VDSO
code de-duplication between architectures.
