Remove pieces of the vDSO's fake section table mechanism that were left
behind when the vDSO build process reverted to using "objdump -S" to
strip the userspace image.

One of the removed pieces is a 0x340 byte reservation (for 64-bit) in
the .rodata section.  Trimming that fat drops the current image's size
to under 4k, i.e. reduces the effective size of the userspace vDSO
mapping by a full page.

v1->v2:
  - Remove the definition of sym_VDSO_FAKE_SECTION_TABLE_*
  - Add patches 3/4 and 4/4 for additional cleanup
