ARM: 8896/1: VDSO: Don't leak kernel addresses



Since commit ad67b74d ("printk: hash addresses printed with
%p"), an obfuscated kernel pointer is printed at every boot if
debugging is enabled:

    vdso: 1 text pages at base (____ptrval____)

Remove the print completely, as it's useless without the address.

Based on commit 0f1bf7e3 ("arm64/vdso: don't leak kernel
addresses").

Fixes: ad67b74d ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
