Subject: [PATCH] x86/vdso: Make vdso2c print the number of sections needed on
error

If we run out of space for section, at least make the error message
print the amount of space we need so we can actually diagnose it.
Furthermore, the test should be > instead of >= (it is okay to have
exactly the maximum number of sections.)
