Build actual argv for launching recursion test to avoid future warning
about using an empty argv in execve().

Can we move out of -Wdeclaration-after-statement mentality in tests at least?

	int rv = execve(FILENAME, (char*[]){FILENAME, NULL}, NULL);

is cleaner (and modern)!

selftest like the rest of the kernel follows the same coding guidelines.
It will follow the moving "-Wdeclaration-after-statement mentality" when
the rest of the kernel does.

Looks like this topic was discussed in the following:

The only real argument is "gcc miscompiles /proc" to which adding -Wdeclaration-after-statement
looks like a too big hammer.

Why can't we have nice things?

Either way - selftest will stay in sync with the kernel coding standards
for good reasons. Doing its own thing confuses developers and makes it
hard for maintainers.
