#1459829 — [PATCH] ARM: VDSO: put read only/mostly objects into proper sections

vdso_data_mapping is never modified, so mark it as const.

vdso_data_page and vdso_text_mapping are initialized by vdso_init(),
thereafter are mostly read during vdso special mapping handling.

The fact that they are mostly read and not written to makes them
candidates for __read_mostly declarations.
