[PATCH 2/3] arm64: vdso: put read only/mostly objects into proper sections

[jszhang@marvell.com (Jisheng Zhang)]

vdso_pages and vdso_spec are initialized by vdso_init(), thereafter are
mostly read during vdso special mapping handling.

vectors_page is initialized by alloc_vectors_page(), thereafter is
mostly read during aarch32 vectors special mapping handling.

The fact that they are mostly read and not written to makes them
candidates for __read_mostly declarations.

The vm_special_mapping spec is never modified, so mark it as const.

This patch also removes global vdso_pagelist.
