On architectures that implement rseq_load32_load32_relaxed() (and thus
define RSEQ_HAS_LOAD32_LOAD32_RELAXED), when the node_id feature is
available, use rseq to fetch the cpu_id and node_id atomically with
respect to preemption and signal delivery to speed up getcpu() compared
to a vsyscall or system call implementation.

Loading both cpu_id and node_id atomically with respect to preemption
is required to ensure consistency of the topology mapping between cpu_id
and node_id due to migration between both loads.

On an aarch64 system (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3) which lacks a vDSO for
getcpu() we measured an improvement from 130 ns to 1 ns while on x86_64
(i7-8550U) which has a vDSO we measured a more modest improvement from
10 ns to 2 ns.
