Linux: Remove rseq support
The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals
to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI
dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc.
This is of course not acceptable.

This reverts commit 48699da1c468543ade14777819bd1b4d652709de ("elf:
Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit
8f4632deb3545b2949cec5454afc3cb21a0024ea ("Linux: rseq registration
tests"), commit 6e29cb3f61ff5432c78a1c84b0d9b123a350ab36 ("Linux: Use
rseq in sched_getcpu if available"), and commit
0c76fc3c2b346dc5401dc055d97d4279632b0fb3 ("Linux: Perform rseq
registration at C startup and thread creation"), resolving the conflicts
introduced by the ARC port and the TLS static surplus changes.

-   RSEQ_SIG is a signature required before each abort handler code.
-
-   It is a 32-bit value that maps to actual architecture code compiled
-   into applications and libraries.  It needs to be defined for each
-   architecture.  When choosing this value, it needs to be taken into
-   account that generating invalid instructions may have ill effects on
-   tools like objdump, and may also have impact on the CPU speculative
-   execution efficiency in some cases.
-
-   - ARM little endian
-
-   RSEQ_SIG uses the udf A32 instruction with an uncommon immediate operand
-   value 0x5de3.  This traps if user-space reaches this instruction by mistake,
-   and the uncommon operand ensures the kernel does not move the instruction
-   pointer to attacker-controlled code on rseq abort.
-
-   The instruction pattern in the A32 instruction set is:
-
-   e7f5def3    udf    #24035    ; 0x5de3
-
-   This translates to the following instruction pattern in the T16 instruction
-   set:
-
-   little endian:
-   def3        udf    #243      ; 0xf3
-   e7f5        b.n    <7f5>
-
-   - ARMv6+ big endian (BE8):
-
-   ARMv6+ -mbig-endian generates mixed endianness code vs data: little-endian
-   code and big-endian data.  The data value of the signature needs to have its
-   byte order reversed to generate the trap instruction:
-
-   Data: 0xf3def5e7
-
-   Translates to this A32 instruction pattern:
-
-   e7f5def3    udf    #24035    ; 0x5de3
-
-   Translates to this T16 instruction pattern:
-
-   def3        udf    #243      ; 0xf3
-   e7f5        b.n    <7f5>
-
-   - Prior to ARMv6 big endian (BE32):
-
-   Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data
-   (which match), so the endianness of the data representation of the
-   signature should not be reversed.  However, the choice between BE32
-   and BE8 is done by the linker, so we cannot know whether code and
-   data endianness will be mixed before the linker is invoked.  So rather
-   than try to play tricks with the linker, the rseq signature is simply
-   data (not a trap instruction) prior to ARMv6 on big endian.  This is
-   why the signature is expressed as data (.word) rather than as
-   instruction (.inst) in assembler.  */
