[PATCH v2 2/5] selftests/mm: Fix resv_sz when parsing arm64 signal frame

get_header() wants the size of the reserved area in struct
sigcontext, but instead we pass it the size of the entire struct.
This could in theory result in an out-of-bounds read (if the signal
frame is malformed).

Fix this using one of the existing macros from
tools/testing/selftests/arm64/signal/testcases/testcases.h.

This issue was reported by Sashiko on a patch that copied this
portion of the code.
