[ Upstream commit 73b9160d0dfe44dfdaffd6465dc1224c38a4a73c ]
Define vdso_start, vdso_end as array to avoid compile-time analysis error for the case of built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
and, since vdso_start, vdso_end are used in vdso.c only, move extern-declaration from vdso.h to vdso.c.
If kernel is built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, compile-time error happens at this code. - if (memcmp(&vdso_start, "177ELF", 4))
The size of "&vdso_start" is recognized as 1 byte, but n is 4, So that compile-time error is reported.
