[CRIU] [PATCH 19/32] x86/vdso2c: Align LOCAL symbols between vdso{-timens, }.so

Align not only VDSO entries as on timens VDSO, but also addresses of
local functions. Otherwise, ld will put them after everything else
into *(.text*). That will result in common VDSO size bigger than
timens VDSO size (sic!).

Unfortunately, filtering by STB_WEAK doesn't work for ia32 VDSO:
by some reason gcc transforms weak symbols into local symbols in .so,
i.e.:
    27: 00000000   219 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   12 clock_gettime
    29: 00000000    95 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   14 gettimeofday
    32: 00000000    40 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   16 time

become:
    20: 000006e0   219 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 clock_gettime
    31: 000007c0    95 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 gettimeofday
    33: 00000820    40 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 time

that results in the same align for two functions in .entries file:
		. = ABSOLUTE(0x6e0);
		*(.text.__vdso_clock_gettime*)
		. = ABSOLUTE(0x6e0);
		*(.text.clock_gettime*)

As result, ld becomes a very sad animal and refuses to cooperate:
ld:arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vdso32.lds:339 cannot move location counter backwards (from 0000000000000762 to 00000000000006e0)

Align local functions on VDSO to timens VDSO and filter weak functions
from .lds script.
