Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for RSEQ:

   - Protect the event mask modification against the membarrier() IPI as
     otherwise the RmW operation is unprotected and events might be lost

   - Fix the weak symbol reference in rseq selftests

     The current weak RSEQ symbols definitions which were added to allow
     static linkage are not working correctly as they effectively
     re-define the glibc symbols leading to multiple versions of the
     symbols when compiled with -fno-common.

     Mark them as 'extern' to convert them from weak symbol definitions
     to weak symbol references. That works with static and dynamic
     linkage independent of -fcommon and -fno-common"
