[LTP] [PATCH 0/3] safe_macros: Fix undefined behaviour in vararg handling

[Tudor Cretu <tudor.cretu@arm.com>]

Accessing elements in an empty va_list results in undefined behaviour[0]
that can include accessing arbitrary stack memory. While typically this
doesn't raise a fault, some new more security-oriented architectures
(e.g. CHERI[1] or Morello[2]) don't allow it.

Therefore, remove the variadicness from safe_* wrappers that always call
the functions with the optional argument included.

Adapt the respective SAFE_* macros to handle the change by passing a
default argument if they're omitted.
