Fixes clang compiler warnings by adding parentheses:

parse_vdso.c:65:9: warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
                if (g = h & 0xf0000000)
                    ~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
parse_vdso.c:65:9: note: place parentheses around the assignment to silence this warning
                if (g = h & 0xf0000000)
                      ^
                    (                 )
parse_vdso.c:65:9: note: use '==' to turn this assignment into an equality comparison
                if (g = h & 0xf0000000)
                      ^
                      ==

For readability's sake, I tend to prefer just taking the assignment out
of the if statement:

g = h & 0xf0000000;
then testing it:
if (g) ...

but as it stands it's fine and the warning goes away.
