powerpc/vdso: Remove unused ENTRY in linker scripts

When linking vdso{32,64}.so.dbg with ld.lld, there is a warning about
not finding _start for the starting address:

  ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
  ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address

Looking at GCC + GNU ld, the entry point address is 0x0:

  $ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
  File: vdso32.so.dbg
    Entry point address:               0x0
  File: vdso64.so.dbg
    Entry point address:               0x0

This matches what ld.lld emits:

  $ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-readelf -p .comment vdso{32,64}.so.dbg

  File: vdso32.so.dbg

  String dump of section '.comment':
    [     0]  Linker: LLD 14.0.0
    [    14]  clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)

  File: vdso64.so.dbg

  String dump of section '.comment':
    [     0]  Linker: LLD 14.0.0
    [    14]  clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)

  $ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
  File: vdso32.so.dbg
    Entry point address:               0x0
  File: vdso64.so.dbg
    Entry point address:               0x0

Remove ENTRY to remove the warning, as it is unnecessary for the vDSO to
function correctly.
