Subject: [RFC PATCH glibc 5/8] glibc: sched_getcpu(): use rseq cpu_id TLS on Linux (v7)

When available, use the cpu_id field from __rseq_abi on Linux to
implement sched_getcpu(). Fall-back on the vgetcpu vDSO if unavailable.

Benchmarks:

x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@...0GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading

glibc sched_getcpu():                     13.7 ns (baseline)
glibc sched_getcpu() using rseq:           2.5 ns (speedup:  5.5x)
inline load cpuid from __rseq_abi TLS:     0.8 ns (speedup: 17.1x)

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sched_getcpu.c: use rseq cpu_id TLS on
	Linux.

Changes since v1:
- rseq is only used if both __NR_rseq and RSEQ_SIG are defined.

Changes since v2:
- remove duplicated __rseq_abi extern declaration.

Changes since v3:
- update ChangeLog.

Changes since v4:
- Use atomic_load_relaxed to load the __rseq_abi.cpu_id field, a
  consequence of the fact that __rseq_abi is not volatile anymore.
- Include atomic.h which provides atomic_load_relaxed.

Changes since v5:
- Use __ASSUME_RSEQ to detect rseq availability.

Changes since v6:
- Remove use of __ASSUME_RSEQ.
