[PATCH v2 1/4] s390/vdso64: filter out munaligned-symbols flag for vdso

[Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@linux.ibm.com>]

Gcc recently implemented an optimization [1] for loading symbols without
explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates
symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl
instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned
symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been
introduced [2] in recent gcc versions.

[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html

However, when -munaligned-symbols  is used in vdso code, it leads to the
following compilation error:
`.data.rel.ro.local' referenced in section `.text' of
arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o: defined in discarded section
`.data.rel.ro.local' of arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o

vdso linker script discards .data section to make it lightweight.
However, -munaligned-symbols in vdso object files references literal
pool and accesses _vdso_data. Hence, compile vdso code without
-munaligned-symbols.  This means in the future, vdso code should deal
with alignment of newly introduced unaligned linker symbols.
