elf: Do not copy vDSO soname when setting up link map

The kernel does not put the vDSO at special addresses, so writev can
write the name directly.  Also remove the incorrect comment about not
setting l_name.

Andy Lutomirski confirmed in
<https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/442A16C0-AE5A-4A44-B261-FE6F817EAF3C@amacapital.net/>
that this copy is not necessary.
