[PATCH] nptl: Unconditionally use a 32-byte rseq area

[Florian Weimer]

If the kernel headers provide a larger struct rseq, we used that
size as the argument to the rseq system call.  As a result,
rseq registration would fail on older kernels which only accept
size 32.

Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu.  Built with build-many-glibcs.py.
This needs to be backported all the way to glibc 2.35.
