I don't think we need this in mainline, because the sigreturn trampoline
is just a bunch of .byte directives and I removed the sigreturn code from
the compat vdso in 2d071968a405 ("arm64: compat: Remove 32-bit sigreturn code
from the vDSO").

Might be needed in some stable kernels though (or we just backport the
patch I mentioned above)
