Kees Cook 018ef8dcf3 x86/vdso: Mark the vDSO code read-only after init
The vDSO does not need to be writable after __init, so mark it as
__ro_after_init. The result kills the exploit method of writing to the
vDSO from kernel space resulting in userspace executing the modified code,
as shown here to bypass SMEP restrictions: http://itszn.com/blog/?p=21

The memory map (with added vDSO address reporting) shows the vDSO moving
into read-only memory:
