arm64/vdso: Support mremap() for vDSO

vDSO VMA address is saved in mm_context for the purpose of using
restorer from vDSO page to return to userspace after signal handling.

In Checkpoint Restore in Userspace (CRIU) project we place vDSO VMA
on restore back to the place where it was on the dump.
With the exception for x86 (where there is API to map vDSO with
arch_prctl()), we move vDSO inherited from CRIU task to restoree
position by mremap().

CRIU does support arm64 architecture, but kernel doesn't update
context.vdso pointer after mremap(). Which results in translation
fault after signal handling on restored application:
https://github.com/xemul/criu/issues/288

Make vDSO code track the VMA address by supplying .mremap() fops
the same way it's done for x86 and arm32 by:
commit b059a453b1cf ("x86/vdso: Add mremap hook to vm_special_mapping")
commit 280e87e98c09 ("ARM: 8683/1: ARM32: Support mremap() for sigpage/vDSO").
