runtime: fix crash during VDSO calls on arm

As discussed in #32912, a crash occurs when go runtime calls a VDSO function (say
__vdso_clock_gettime) and a signal arrives to that thread.
Since VDSO functions temporarily destroy the G register (R10),
Go functions asynchronously executed in that thread (i.e. Go's signal
handler) can try to load data from the destroyed G, which causes
segmentation fault.

To fix the issue a guard is inserted in front of sigtrampgo, so that the control escapes from
signal handlers without touching G in case the signal occurred in the VDSO context.
The test case included in the patch is take from discussion in a relevant thread on github:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32912#issuecomment-517874531.
This patch not only fixes the issue on AArch64 but also that on 32bit ARM.

Fixes #32912
