In order to get AArch64 remap and unmap support for the VDSO, like PowerPC
and x86 have, without duplicating the code, we need a common name and type
for the address of the VDSO. An informal survey of the architectures
indicates unsigned long vdso is popular. Change the type in arm64 to be
unsigned long, which has the added benefit of dropping a few typecasts.
