Subject: [PATCH 26/29] selftests/mm: Workaround no way to detect uffd-minor + wp

Userfaultfd minor+wp mode was very recently added.  The test will fail on
the old kernels at ioctl(UFFDIO_CONTINUE) which is misterious.
Unfortunately there's no feature bit to detect for this support.

Add a hack to leverage WP_UNPOPULATED to detect whether that feature
existed, since WP_UNPOPULATED was merged right after minor+wp.
