The problem here is the separation of vdso/*.h headers and
linux/*.h headers.

Commit a0d2fcd62ac2 ("vdso/ARM: Make union vdso_data_store
available for all architectures") introduced a reference to
the asm/page.h in include/vdso/datapage.h, but this is outside
of the vdso/*.h namespace and doesn't work in the compat vdso.

I think it is only needed because of the PAGE_SIZE macro,
so that constant needs to come from somewhere else.

I have an older patch that I never merged to unify the
page size configuration in Kconfig, and could try to
dig that out if nobody has a better idea. If we do that,
we could introduce a CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE.
