Commit 3bcbc20942db ("selftests/rseq: Play nice with binaries statically

of __weak but did nothing to ensure that a definition is provided for it
resulting in build failures for the rseq tests:

rseq.c:41:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak ptrdiff_t __rseq_offset;
^
rseq.c:41:17: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
__weak ptrdiff_t __rseq_offset;
^
;
rseq.c:42:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak unsigned int __rseq_size;
^
rseq.c:43:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak unsigned int __rseq_flags;

Fix this by using the definition from tools/include compiler.h.


Queued, thanks. Sorry for the breakage.

It'd be good if the KVM testing could include builds of the rseq
selftests, the KVM tests pull in code from rseq but not the build system
which has resulted in multiple failures like this.
