MIPS uses its own declaration of rwdata, and thus it should be kept
in sync with the asm-generic one. Currently PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() is
missing from the linker script, which emits the following ld
warnings:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/kernel/vdso.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'
mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'

Add the necessary declaration, so the mentioned structures will be
placed in vmlinux as intended:

ffffffff80630580 D __end_once
ffffffff80630580 D __start___dyndbg
ffffffff80630580 D __start_once
ffffffff80630580 D __stop___dyndbg
ffffffff80634000 d mips_vdso_data
ffffffff80638000 d vdso_data
ffffffff80638580 D _gp
ffffffff8063c000 T __init_begin
ffffffff8063c000 D _edata
ffffffff8063c000 T _sinittext

->

ffffffff805a4000 D __end_init_task
ffffffff805a4000 D __nosave_begin
ffffffff805a4000 D __nosave_end
ffffffff805a4000 d mips_vdso_data
ffffffff805a8000 d vdso_data
ffffffff805ac000 D mmlist_lock
ffffffff805ac080 D tasklist_lock
