selftests/vm: 8x compaction_test speedup
This patch reduces the running time for compaction_test from about 27 sec, to 3.3 sec, which is about an 8x speedup. These numbers are for an Intel x86_64 system with 32 GB of DRAM. The compaction_test.c program was spending most of its time doing mmap(), 1 MB at a time, on about 25 GB of memory. Instead, do the mmaps 100 MB at a time. (Going past 100 MB doesn't make things go much faster, because other parts of the program are using the remaining time.)
