Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping()
after the commit:

  f7b6eb3fa072 ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing the mapping")

This is not required anymore as special mappings have their vma name and
don't use arch_vma_name() after commit:

  a62c34bd2a8a ("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming")

So, this way to init looks less entangled.

I even belive that we can remove NULL initializers:

 - on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread;
 - arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall.
