selftests/mm: fix faulting-in code in pagemap_ioctl test

Browse source

One of the pagemap_ioctl tests attempts to fault in pages by memcpy()'ing
them to an unused buffer.  This probably worked originally, but since
commit 46036188ea ("selftests/mm: build with -O2") the compiler is free
to optimise away that unused buffer and the memcpy() with it.  As a result
there might not be any resident page in the mapping and the test may fail.

We don't need to copy all that memory anyway.  Just fault in every page.

While at it also make sure to compute the number of pages once using
simple integer arithmetic instead of ceilf() and implicit conversions.
