[PATCH RFC] selftests/rseq: fix kselftest Clang build warnings

[Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>]

Hi,

I am experiencing many warnings when trying to build tools/testing/selftests.

Here's one such example from rseq tree:
|  param_test.c:1234:10: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('intptr_t *' (aka 'long *') invalid)
|   1234 |         while (!atomic_load(&args->percpu_list_ptr)) {}
|        |                 ^           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|  /usr/local/google/home/justinstitt/repos/tc-build/build/llvm/final/lib/clang/18/include/stdatomic.h:140:29: note: expanded from macro 'atomic_load'
|    140 | #define atomic_load(object) __c11_atomic_load(object, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST)
|        |                             ^                 ~~~~~~

I added the _Atomic type in various locations to silence _all_ (10) of these
warnings. I'm wondering, though, perhaps the absence of these _Atomic
types in the first place is on purpose? Am I on the right track to fix
these warnings without damaging the legitimacy of the tests at hand?

I'd like some feedback about where to go from here and if others are
experiencing the same issues. Thanks!

FWIW here's my specific build incantation on Clang-18 (49d41de57896e935cd5726719c5208bce22694ae):
$ make LLVM=1 -j128 ARCH=x86_64 mrproper headers defconfig kselftest-merge
$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=x86_64 -C tools/testing/selftests
