[LTP] [PATCH v4] syscalls/set_thread_area01: Refactor into new API

Hi!

The patches look good.weI still have the issue with lapi/ldt.h import, 
probably due to missing CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL in some distros: 
https://github.com/acerv/ltp/actions/runs/14308513692/job/40097717910
We will need the lapi/ldt.h fallback in 
898cc14ad412fb521867b43fed5c4e067b76f809.

Besides this issue that you already know:
