Subject: [PATCH for 5.1 0/3] Restartable Sequences updates for 5.1

Those changes aiming at 5.1 include one comment cleanup, the removal of
the rseq_len field from the task struct which serves no purpose
considering that the struct size is fixed by the ABI, and a selftest
improvement adapting the number of threads to the number of detected
CPUs, which is nicer for smaller systems.

Thanks,

Mathieu
