[CRIU] [PATCHv5 27/37] x86/vdso2c: Process jump tables

As it has been discussed on timens RFC, adding a new conditional branch
`if (inside_time_ns)` on VDSO for all processes is undesirable.

Addressing those problems, there are two versions of VDSO's .so:
for host tasks (without any penalty) and for processes inside time
namespace with clk_to_ns() that subtracts offsets from host's time.

The timens code in vdso looks like this:

      if (timens_static_branch()) {
              clk_to_ns(clk, ts);
      }

Static branch mechanism adds a __jump_table section into vdso.
Vdso's linker script drops all unwanted sections in compile time.

Preserve __jump_table section and add it into (struct vdso_image),
as it's needed for enabling (patching) static branches that are
present on vdso.
