The "bug" is that "call rel32" instruction testing for executable
vsyscall page which should be relocated to "call 0xffffffffff600000"
is messed up. Ubuntu 22.10 ships with "vsyscall=xonly" so there should not be
any faults when executing from it. But segfault happens with normal
randomised userspace address.

I'll change it to "call *rax" which should be more robust (and works)
and free from relocations.
