MIPS: vDSO: Fix Malta EVA mapping to vDSO page structs
The page structures associated with the vDSO pages in the kernel image are calculated using virt_to_page(), which uses __pa() under the hood to find the pfn associated with the virtual address. The vDSO data pointers however point to kernel symbols, so __pa_symbol() should really be used instead. Since there is no equivalent to virt_to_page() which uses __pa_symbol(), fix init_vdso_image() to work directly with pfns, calculated with __phys_to_pfn(__pa_symbol(...)). This issue broke the Malta Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) configuration which has a non-default implementation of __pa_symbol(). This is because it uses a physical alias so that the kernel executes from KSeg0 (VA 0x80000000 -> PA 0x00000000), while RAM is provided to the kernel in the KUSeg range (VA 0x00000000 -> PA 0x80000000) which uses the same underlying RAM. Since there are no page structures associated with the low physical address region, some arbitrary kernel memory would be interpreted as a page structure for the vDSO pages and badness ensues.
