ppc44x_defconfig and powernv_defconfig start failing with this series
when LD=ld.lld is used.

We need Fangrui's patch to fix ppc44x_defconfig:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200205005054.k72fuikf6rwrg...@google.com/
That exact same fix is needed in arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/datapage.S
to fix powernv_defconfig.
Cheers,
Nathan
