Use rseq_unqual_scalar_typeof() rather than typeof() in macros to remove
the volatile qualifier (if there is one in the input argument), thus
generating better assembly code in those scenarios.
Also add extra brackets around the "p" parameter in RSEQ_READ_ONCE(),
RSEQ_WRITE_ONCE(), and rseq_unqual_scalar_typeof() across architectures
to preserve expectations of operator priority. Here is an example that
shows how operator priority may be an issue with missing parentheses:
#define m(p) \
do { \
__typeof__(*p) v = 0; \
} while (0)
void fct(unsigned long long *p1)
{
m(p1 + 1); /* works */
m(1 + p1); /* broken */
}

The arm and mips work-around for asm goto size guess issues are not
properly documented, and lack reference to specific compiler versions,
upstream compiler bug tracker entry, and reproducer.
I can only find a loosely documented patch in my original LKML rseq post
refering to gcc < 7 on ARM, but it does not appear to be sufficient to
track the exact issue. Also, I am not sure MIPS really has the same
limitation.
Therefore, remove the work-around until we can properly document this.

The semantic of off_t is for file offsets. We mean to use it as an
offset from a pointer. We really expect it to fit in a single register,
and not use a 64-bit type on 32-bit architectures.
Fix runtime issues on ppc32 where the offset is always 0 due to
inconsistency between the argument type (off_t -> 64-bit) and type
expected by the inline assembler (32-bit).

This is done in preparation for the selftest uplift to become compatible
with glibc-2.35.
glibc-2.35 exposes the rseq per-thread data in the TCB, accessible
at an offset from the thread pointer, rather than through an actual
Thread-Local Storage (TLS) variable, as the kernel selftests initially
expected.
Introduce a rseq_get_abi() helper, initially using the __rseq_abi
TLS variable, in preparation for changing this userspace ABI for one
which is compatible with glibc-2.35.
Note that the __rseq_abi TLS and glibc-2.35's ABI for per-thread data
cannot actively coexist in a process, because the kernel supports only
a single rseq registration per thread.
