[PATCH] powerpc/vdso: Fix multiple issues with sys_call_table

The VDSO exports a bitmap of valid syscalls. vdso_setup_syscall_map()
sets this up, but there are both little and big endian bugs. The issue
is with:

       if (sys_call_table[i] != sys_ni_syscall)

On little endian, instead of comparing pointers to the two functions,
we compare the first two instructions of each function. If a function
happens to have the same first two instructions as sys_ni_syscall, then
we have a spurious match and mark the instruction as not implemented.
Fix this by removing the inline declarations.

On big endian we have a further issue where sys_ni_syscall is a function
descriptor and sys_call_table[] holds pointers to the instruction text.
Fix this by using dereference_kernel_function_descriptor().
