DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING turns off branch profiling (i.e. a redefinition of 'if'). Branch profiling depends on a bunch of kernel-internal symbols and generates extra output sections, none of which are useful or functional in the vDSO.
It's currently turned off for vclock_gettime.c, but vgetcpu.c also triggers branch profiling, so just turn it off in the makefile. This fixes the build on some configurations: the vdso could contain undefined symbols, and the fake section table overflowed due to ftrace's added sections.
