x86-64, mm: Initialize VDSO earlier on 64 bits
When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited yet (link order matters). Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars) and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit initrd and ia32 emulation built-in. i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls(). What this patch fixes are early modprobe crashes such as: Unpacking initramfs...
