Following kselftest build regression found,

    selftests/rseq: Play nice with binaries statically linked against
glibc 2.35+
    commit 3bcbc20942db5d738221cca31a928efc09827069 upstream.


    To allow running rseq and KVM's rseq selftests as statically linked
    binaries, initialize the various "trampoline" pointers to point directly
    at the expect glibc symbols, and skip the dlysm() lookups if the rseq
    size is non-zero, i.e. the binary is statically linked *and* the libc
    registered its own rseq.

    Define weak versions of the symbols so as not to break linking against
    libc versions that don't support rseq in any capacity.

    The KVM selftests in particular are often statically linked so that they
    can be run on targets with very limited runtime environments, i.e. test
    machines.

    Fixes: 233e667e1ae3 ("selftests/rseq: Uplift rseq selftests for
compatibility with glibc-2.35")
