powerpc/vdso: refactor error handling
Linus noticed that the error handling in __arch_setup_additional_pages() fails to clear the mm VDSO pointer if _install_special_mapping() fails. In practice there should be no actual bug, because if there's an error the VDSO pointer is cleared later in arch_setup_additional_pages(). However it's no longer necessary to set the pointer before installing the mapping. Commit c1bab64360e6 ("powerpc/vdso: Move to _install_special_mapping() and remove arch_vma_name()") reworked the code so that the VMA name comes from the vm_special_mapping.name, rather than relying on arch_vma_name(). So rework the code to only set the VDSO pointer once the mappings have been installed correctly, and remove the stale comment.
