aarch64/pie/util-vdso: workaround for vdso_symbols relocation

This seems to be known problem in util-vdso.c on aarch64 [1].

Now restorer segfaults with the following log:
[ 8107.384817] criu[5135]: unhandled level 3 translation fault (11) at 0x00005b98, esr 0x90000007

This is because gcc for aarch64 adds vdso_symbols array to symbols
table and by that reason, it needs run-time relocations in place.

How it goes (with cut not interesting assembly):
  0x14104:	adrp	x7, 0x14000	; adrp+add loading of
  0x14114:	add	x0, x7, #0x928	; symbol table's address,
  0x14134:	ldp	x2, x3, [x0]	; loading address of symbol from
					; symbol table
  0x1414c:	stp	x2, x3, [x29,#112] ; saving it on stack on
					; function's begin
  0x14188:	ldr	x2, [x29,#112]	; using symbol's address in code

The symbol for this in symbol table is:
  [root@alarm cr]# readelf -s criu/pie/restorer.built-in.bin.o | grep 5b98
    248: 0000000000005b98     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 $d
And also may be visible this way:
  objdump -dS criu/pie/restorer.built-in.bin.o | less
  ...
  0000000000004924 <cur_loglevel>:
      4924:       00000002 00005b98 00000000 00005ed0     .....[.......^..
      4934:       00000000 00005ee8 00000000 00005f00     .....^......._..

So, in a symbol table lies not relocated address of symbol.
The real address may be visible with added printing of vdso_symbols[0]:
pie: vdso: vdso_symbols[0] 0x15b98
(this way gcc by some reason does access symbol through
local adrp+add calculations, than through stack-saved pointer
of a symbol from symbol table).

While we don't handling properly relocs here, I suggest this
ugly workaround.

Temporary fix for: #150
