looks good.

most of the changes were reviewed when rseq was first committed.

my problem with __has_include ("linux/rseq.h") etc in sys/rseq.h
is that linux might change that later to conflict with libc headers
in some way. but i don't have a better way to avoid issues when
both libc and linux headers are included into the same TU.

despite the comments in linux/rseq.h (and sys/rseq.h) the
RSEQ_CPU_ID_UNINITIALIZED state is now not observable.
i guess it is just an unused piece of linux uapi so ok.

inconsistent rseq status in threads is ok.

not unregistering on thread exit is ok.

updated tests are ok.
