selftests/mm: retry migration failures for the full runtime

Browse source

move_pages() is best effort and can temporarily fail when concurrent
faults race with page unmapping.  A busy shared-anon workload can exhaust
the current 100 retries long before the intended 20-second runtime and
produce a false failure.

Use the full runtime as the retry window.  Since the initial page location
is unknown, require it to reach both alternating NUMA targets to confirm
that cross-node migration made progress despite transient contention.
