Subject: [V2][PATCH] selftests/x86: Fix error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope

Based on glibc 2.33 -> 2.34, there is one new feature:

NEWS for version 2.34
=====================
Major new features:
* Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.  When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE
  or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ are no longer
  constant on Linux.  MINSIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ)
  and SIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ).  This supports
  dynamic sized register sets for modern architectural features like
  Arm SVE.

Build error with the GNU C Library 2.34:
DEBUG:	| sigreturn.c:150:13: error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope
| sigreturn.c:150:13: error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope
DEBUG:	|   150 | static char altstack_data[SIGSTKSZ];
|   150 | static char altstack_data[SIGSTKSZ];
DEBUG:	|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
