Subject: [PATCH] selftests: proc: mark vsyscall strings maybe-unused

The str_vsyscall_* constants in proc-pid-vm.c triggers
-Wunused-const-variable warnings with gcc-13.32 and clang 18.1.

Define and apply __maybe_unused locally to suppress the warnings.
No functional change

Fixes compiler warning:
warning: ‘str_vsyscall_*’ defined but not used[-Wunused-const-variable]
