Easiest way would be to statically point the Loopbacks of each router on
the RSVP path into the RSVP LSP, i.e., you treat the RSVP LSP as you
would any interface.

The 2nd option is IGP Shortcuts:

The 3rd option is IGP & BGP Destinations:

If this is the first time you're working with RSVP for a production
network, take the static approach given the small size the backbone in
question. Once you get comfortable, you can explore the other 2 options.
