glibc added support for .gnu.hash in 2006 and .hash has been obsoleted for more than one decade in many Linux distributions. Using --hash-style=sysv might imply unaddressed issues and confuse readers.
Just drop the option and rely on the linker default, which is likely "both", or "gnu" when the distribution really wants to eliminate sysv hash overhead.
Similar to commit 6b7e26547fad ("x86/vdso: Emit a GNU hash").

Hi Fangrui,
If I read tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/parse_vdso.c correctly, it does know DT_GNU_HASH as at now. Thus after this change the vDSO selftests are skipped with "Couldn't find __vdso_gettimeofday" etc if the distro enables --hash-style=gnu by default.
So it seems we need to add DT_GNU_HASH support for parse_vdso.c to keep test coverage.
