selftests/x86: Fix error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope

A glibc 2.34 feature adds support for variable MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ.
When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ
and SIGSTKSZ are no longer constant on Linux. glibc 2.34 flags code paths
assuming MINSIGSTKSZ or SIGSTKSZ are constant. Fix these error in x86 test.

Feature description and build error:

NEWS for version 2.34
=====================
Major new features:
* Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ. When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE
or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ are no longer
constant on Linux. MINSIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ)
and SIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ). This supports
dynamic sized register sets for modern architectural features like
Arm SVE.
=====================

If _SC_SIGSTKSZ_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ
are redefined as:

/* Default stack size for a signal handler: sysconf (SC_SIGSTKSZ). */
# undef SIGSTKSZ
# define SIGSTKSZ sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ)

/* Minimum stack size for a signal handler: SIGSTKSZ. */
# undef MINSIGSTKSZ
# define MINSIGSTKSZ SIGSTKSZ

Compilation will fail if the source assumes constant MINSIGSTKSZ or
SIGSTKSZ.

Build error with the GNU C Library 2.34:
DEBUG: | sigreturn.c:150:13: error: variably modified 'altstack_data' at file scope

selftests/x86/mov_ss_trap: Fix the SYSENTER test

For reasons that I haven't quite fully diagnosed, running
mov_ss_trap_32 on a 32-bit kernel results in an infinite loop in
userspace. This appears to be because the hacky SYSENTER test
doesn't segfault as desired; instead it corrupts the program state
such that it infinite loops.

Fix it by explicitly clearing EBP before doing SYSENTER. This will
give a more reliable segfault.

x86/selftests: Add mov_to_ss test

This exercises a nasty corner case of the x86 ISA.
