[PATCH] Fix CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO

I wouldn't mind if CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO went away entirely.  But if it's there,
it should work properly.  Currently it's quite haphazard: both real vma and
fixmap are mapped, both are put in the two different AT_* slots, sysenter
returns to the vma address rather than the fixmap address, and core dumps yet
are another story.

This patch makes CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO disable the real vma and use the fixmap
area consistently.  This makes it actually compatible with what the old vdso
implementation did.
