With the current implementation, __cvdso_getrandom_data() calls
memset(), which is unexpected in the VDSO.

Rewrite opaque data initialisation to avoid memset().

Is there a compiler flag that could be used to disable the generation of calls
to memset?

Apparently not: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90701

-ffreestanding disables the most but still can generate calls to memcpy
and memset, and the bug was closed as "RESOLVED INVALID". Surprising,
but maybe it's one of those "functions are part of language" things.
