KVM: selftests: Test MADV_COLLAPSE on guest_memfd

Browse source

guest_memfd only supports PAGE_SIZE pages, and khugepaged or MADV_COLLAPSE
collapsing pages may result in private memory regions being mapped into
host page tables.

Add test to verify that MADV_COLLAPSE fails on guest_memfd folios, and any
subsequent usage of guest_memfd memory faults in PAGE_SIZE folios. Running
this test should not result in any memory failure logs or kernel WARNings.

This selftest was added as a result of a syzbot-reported issue where
khugepaged operating on guest_memfd memory with MADV_HUGEPAGE caused the
collapse of folios, which then subsequently resulted in a WARNing.
