Subject: [PATCH 12/16] selftests: vDSO: parse_vdso: Test __SIZEOF_LONG__
 instead of ULONG_MAX

According to limits.h(2) ULONG_MAX is only guaranteed to expand to an
expression, not a symbolic constant which can be evaluated by the
preprocessor.
Specifically the definition of ULONG_MAX from nolibc can no be evaluated
by the preprocessor. To provide compatibility with nolibc, check with
__SIZEOF_LONG__ instead, with is provided directly by the preprocessor
and therefore always a symbolic constant.
