Thomas Gleixner faba9d250e rseq: Introduce struct rseq_data
In preparation for a major rewrite of this code, provide a data structure
for rseq management.

Put all the rseq related data into it (except for the debug part), which
allows to simplify fork/execve by using memset() and memcpy() instead of
adding new fields to initialize over and over.

Create a storage struct for event management as well and put the
sched_switch event and a indicator for RSEQ on a task into it as a
start. That uses a union, which allows to mask and clear the whole lot
efficiently.

The indicators are explicitly not a bit field. Bit fields generate abysmal
code.

The boolean members are defined as u8 as that actually guarantees that it
fits. There seem to be strange architecture ABIs which need more than 8
bits for a boolean.

The has_rseq member is redundant vs. task::rseq, but it turns out that
boolean operations and quick checks on the union generate better code than
fiddling with separate entities and data types.

This struct will be extended over time to carry more information.
