[COMMITTED 2.42] tests: fix tst-rseq with Linux 7.0

From: Michael Jeanson <mjeanson@efficios.com>

A sub-test of tst-rseq is to validate the return code and errno of the
rseq syscall when attempting to register the exact same rseq area as was
done in the dynamic loader.

This involves finding the rseq area address by adding the
'__rseq_offset' to the thread pointer and calculating the area size from
the AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE auxiliary vector. However the test currently
calculates the size of the rseq area allocation in the TLS block which
must be a multiple of AT_RSEQ_ALIGN.

Up until now that happened to be the same value since the feature size
and alignment exposed by the kernel were below the minimum ABI size of
32. Starting with Linux 7.0 the feature size has reached 33 while the
alignment is now 64.

This results in the test trying to re-register the rseq area with a
different size and thus not getting the expected errno value.
