Prior to the introduction of Unified vDSO support and compat layer for
vDSO on arm64, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR was not defined for compat tasks.
In the current implementation, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is defined even if the
compat vdso layer is not built and this causes a regression in the
expected behavior of the ABI.

Restore the ABI behavior making sure that AT_SYSINFO_EHDR for compat
tasks is defined only when CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is enabled.

I can take this at -rc1 via arm64 unless tglx plans to send it during the
rest of the merge window. Please let me know.
I had no plan to pick it up, but if you want I can route it through timer
urgents so it hits Linus tree before rc1.
I don't think it's urgent, so I'll just queue it along with any other fixes
that show up at -rc1.

Cheers,

Will
