selftests/mm/pagemap_ioctl: fix missing NULL checks after calloc()

Browse source

The pagemap_ioctl selftest allocates memory via calloc() in several places
but does not check the return values.  If calloc() fails, the subsequent
code will dereference a NULL pointer and crash.

Additionally, in sanity_tests(), the calloc() failure check incorrectly
uses MAP_FAILED (the mmap() error constant) instead of NULL.  Since
calloc() returns NULL on failure, the check never triggers and a failed
allocation goes undetected.

Add NULL checks after each calloc() call, and fix the wrong error constant
in sanity_tests().  Use ksft_exit_fail_msg() consistent with the existing
error handling pattern in the file.
