selftests/mm: add a new test for madv and hugetlb
Create a selftest that exercises the race between page faults and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in the same huge page. Do it by running two threads that touches the huge page and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) at the same time. In case of a SIGBUS coming at pagefault, the test should fail, since we hit the bug. The test doesn't have a signal handler, and if it fails, it fails like the following ---------------------------------- running ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv ---------------------------------- ./run_vmtests.sh: line 186: 595563 Bus error (core dumped) "$@" [FAIL] This selftest goes together with the fix of the bug[1] itself.
