[PATCHv3 8/8] powerpc/vdso: remove arch_vma_name

[Dmitry Safonov]

It's not needed since vdso is inserted with vm_special_mapping
which contains vma name.
This also reverts commit f2053f1a7bf6 ("powerpc/perf_counter: Fix vdso
detection") as not needed anymore.
See also commit f7b6eb3fa072 ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing
the mapping").
