x86_64,vsyscall: Make vsyscall emulation configurable 



This adds CONFIG_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION, guarded by CONFIG_EXPERT.
Turning it off completely disables vsyscall emulation, saving ~3.5k
for vsyscall_64.c, 4k for vsyscall_emu_64.S (the fake vsyscall
page), some tiny amount of core mm code that supports a gate area,
and possibly 4k for a wasted pagetable.  The latter is because the
vsyscall addresses are misaligned and fit poorly in the fixmap.

       ---help---

	 This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page.  Disabling

	 it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except

	 that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program

	 tries to use a vsyscall.  With this option set to N, offending

	 programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form

	 0xffffffffff600?00.



	 This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and

	 care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.



	 Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and

	 possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.
