It works because it's sign-extending into an r register. Only the
loaded quantity is 32 bits. This was changed in:

x86-64: Cast __rseq_offset to long long int [BZ #32543]
commit 494d65129ed5ae1154b75cc189bbdde5e9ecf1df

nptl: Introduce <rseq-access.h> for RSEQ_* accessors
added things like
asm volatile ("movl %%fs:%P1(%q2),%0" \
: "=r" (__value) \
: "i" (offsetof (struct rseq_area, member)), \
"r" (__rseq_offset)); \
But this doesn't work for x32 when __rseq_offset is negative since the
address is computed as
FS + 32-bit to 64-bit zero extension of __rseq_offset
+ offsetof (struct rseq_area, member)
Cast __rseq_offset to long long int
"r" ((long long int) __rseq_offset)); \
to sign-extend 32-bit __rseq_offset to 64-bit. This is a no-op for x86-64
since x86-64 __rseq_offset is 64-bit. This fixes BZ #32543.

You could move this implementation into
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/rseq-access.h. But the other
architectures should move out …/nptl/… for consistency.
Thanks,
Florian
