On powerpc64, following tests fail locating vDSO functions:

  ~ # ./vdso_test_abi
  TAP version 13
  1..16
  # [vDSO kselftest] VDSO_VERSION: LINUX_2.6.15
  # Couldn't find __kernel_gettimeofday
  ok 1 # SKIP __kernel_gettimeofday
  # clock_id: CLOCK_REALTIME
  # Couldn't find __kernel_clock_gettime
  ok 2 # SKIP __kernel_clock_gettime CLOCK_REALTIME
  # Couldn't find __kernel_clock_getres
  ok 3 # SKIP __kernel_clock_getres CLOCK_REALTIME
  ...
  # Couldn't find __kernel_time
  ok 16 # SKIP __kernel_time
  # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:16 error:0

  ~ # ./vdso_test_getrandom
  __kernel_getrandom is missing!

  ~ # ./vdso_test_gettimeofday
  Could not find __kernel_gettimeofday

  ~ # ./vdso_test_getcpu
  Could not find __kernel_getcpu

On powerpc64, as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE, so also accept that type when looking for symbols.
