Subject: [PATCH] riscv: Explicitly specify the build id style in vDSO Makefile again

Commit a96843372331 ("kbuild: explicitly specify the build id style")
explicitly set the build ID style to SHA1. Commit c2c81bb2f691 ("RISC-V:
Fix the VDSO symbol generaton for binutils-2.35+") undid this change,
likely unintentionally.

Restore it so that the build ID style stays consistent across the tree
regardless of linker.

Thanks for the fixup!

(I'm curious what --build-id linker flag does, and what kind of spooky
bugs that led to a96843372331?)

--build-id generates a unique "build id" for the build. It can use
several different algorithms to do this. The BFD linker uses sha1 by
default while LLD uses a "fast" algorithm. The difference is that the
fast algorithm generates a shorter build id. This shouldn't matter in
general, but there are some tools out there that expect the build id
to be of a certain length, i.e. the BFD style's length, because BFD is
more prevalent. The obvious response "well, why don't they just change
the expected length?" is difficult in all situations. (Once an
assumption is made, it's hard to backtrack.)

You can add this if you like:

Sorry about that. This is on fixes.
