Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them

I never had much luck running mm selftests so I spent a couple of hours
digging into why.

Looks like most of the reason is missing SKIP checks, so this series is
just adding a bunch of those that I found. I did not do anything like
all of them, just the ones I spotted in gup_longterm, gup_test, mmap,
userfaultfd and memfd_secret.

It's a bit unfortunate to have to skip those tests when ftruncate()
fails, but I don't have time to dig deep enough into it to actually make
them pass - I observed these issues on both 9p and virtiofs. Probably
it requires digging into the filesystem implementation

(An alternative might just be to mount a tmpfs in the test script).

I am also seeing some failures to allocate hugetlb pages in
uffd-mp-mremap that I have not had time to fully understand, you can see
those here:
