This commit breaks a pattern in the way tests are run in the current scheme.
Before this commit the only executable (or TEST_PROGS) that was executed was
run_vmselftests.sh. Now both madv_populate and split_huge_page_test are being
run as well.

madv_populate is already being run in run_vmselftests.sh

Not sure what this does but if we add a run entry for split_huge_page_test in
run_vmselftests.sh we wont really need this patch.

I'm not sure the reduction in code size is worth the change in run behavior.

Unless I'm missing something I suggest we revert this patch and add a run entry
for split_huge_page_test in run_vmselftests.sh. I can do this if no one objects.

Cheers,
