rseq: Remove broken uapi field layout on 32-bit little endian

The rseq rseq_cs.ptr.{ptr32,padding} uapi endianness handling is
entirely wrong on 32-bit little endian: a preprocessor logic mistake
wrongly uses the big endian field layout on 32-bit little endian
architectures.

Fortunately, those ptr32 accessors were never used within the kernel,
and only meant as a convenience for user-space.

Remove those and replace the whole rseq_cs union by a __u64 type, as
this is the only thing really needed to express the ABI. Document how
32-bit architectures are meant to interact with this field.
