arm64: vdso: Don't prefix sigreturn trampoline with a BTI C instruction
For better or worse, GDB relies on the exact instruction sequence in the VDSO sigreturn trampoline in order to unwind from signals correctly. Commit c91db232da48 ("arm64: vdso: Convert to modern assembler annotations") unfortunately added a BTI C instruction to the start of __kernel_rt_sigreturn, which breaks this check. Thankfully, it's also not required, since the trampoline is called from a RET instruction when returning from the signal handler Remove the unnecessary BTI C instruction from __kernel_rt_sigreturn, and do the same for the 32-bit VDSO as well for good measure.
