[RFC PATCH 1/4] selftests: rseq: Use fixed value as rseq_len parameter

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Mon Jul 13 2020 - 23:03:59 EST


The rseq registration and unregistration expect a fixed-size length
(32 bytes). In preparation to extend struct rseq, pass a fixed value
rather than the size of the rseq structure.
