x86/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO

With the command-line option -mx86-used-note=yes which can also be
enabled at binutils build time with:

  --enable-x86-used-note  generate GNU x86 used ISA and feature properties

the x86 assembler in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property
note in a note section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and
features.  But kernel linker script only contains a single NOTE segment:

  PHDRS
  {
   text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5) FILEHDR PHDRS; /* PF_R|PF_X */
   dynamic PT_DYNAMIC FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
   note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
   eh_frame_hdr 0x6474e550;
  }

The NOTE segment generated by the vDSO linker script is aligned to 4 bytes.
But the .note.gnu.property section must be aligned to 8 bytes on x86-64:

  [hjl@gnu-skx-1 vdso]$ readelf -n vdso64.so

  Displaying notes found in: .note
    Owner                Data size 	Description
    Linux                0x00000004	Unknown note type: (0x00000000)
     description data: 06 00 00 00
  readelf: Warning: note with invalid namesz and/or descsz found at offset 0x20
  readelf: Warning:  type: 0x78, namesize: 0x00000100, descsize: 0x756e694c, alignment: 8

Since the note.gnu.property section in the vDSO is not checked by the
dynamic linker, discard the .note.gnu.property sections in the vDSO.
