x86/vdso: Place vdso_data at beginning of vvar page
The offset of the vdso_data only has historic reasons, as back then other vvars also existed and offset 0 was already used. (See commit 8c49d9a7 ("x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables")) Over time most other vvars got removed and offset 0 is free again. Moving vdso_data to the beginning of the vvar page aligns x86 with other architectures and opens up the way for the removal of the custom x86 vvar machinery.
