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).

Makefile:581: recipe for target 'basic_percpu_ops_test.o' failed
Based on discussion with Linux powerpc maintainers and review of
the use of the "m" operand in powerpc kernel code, add the missing
%Un%Xn (where n is operand number) to the lwz, stw, ld, and std
instructions when used with "m" operands.
Using "WORD" to mean either a 32-bit or 64-bit type depending on
the architecture is misleading. The term "WORD" really means a
32-bit type in both 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc assembler. The intent
here is to wrap load/store to intptr_t into common macros for both
32-bit and 64-bit.
Rename the macros with a RSEQ_ prefix, and use the terms "INT"
for always 32-bit type, and "LONG" for architecture bitness-sized
type.

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.
