[PATCH v2 1/1] rseq/selftests: add __rseq_abi misalignment check

[Vasily Gorbik]

The kernel rseq syscall expects that struct rseq is 32 bytes aligned and
returns EINVAL otherwise. Even though __rseq_abi is declared as static
and proper aligned attribute is present __rseq_abi is a part of thread
local storage. It turns out that on some platforms TLS itself is not
properly aligned (at least for threads created), which is a glibc nptl
bug and should be eventually fixed and backported. But in a meanwhile
add __rseq_abi misalignment check, which would detect this situation
and skip rseq test with some user friendly message.

glibc bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23403
