[PATCH] selftests/futex: load atomic values before harness comparisons

[PATCH] selftests/futex: load atomic values before harness comparisons

[Sasha Levin]

Clang 21 rejects the harness comparison because typeof(*futex) preserves
the atomic qualification. Load the value explicitly in the three affected
assertions so the harness compares unsigned integers. Atomic access and
its existing sequentially consistent ordering are preserved.

The baseline produces three invalid-operands errors. The complete futex
suite builds with Clang 21 and GCC 14 after the change.
