riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr
I believe the hardcoded 0x800 and related comments come from the long history VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET in x86 vdso code, but commit 5b9304933730 ("x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.lds") and commit f6b46ebf904f ("x86 vDSO: new layout") removes the comment and hard coding for x86. Similar as x86 and other arch, riscv doesn't need the rigid layout using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET since it "no longer matters to the kernel". so we could remove the hard coding now, and removing it brings a small vdso.so and aligns with other architectures. Also, having enough separation between data and text is important for I-cache, so similar as x86, move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame between .rodata and .text.
