Subject: [PATCH] selftests: cachestat: add tests for mmap and /proc/cpuinfo

From: Suresh K C <suresh.k.chandrappa@...il.com>

Add a test case to verify cachestat behavior with memory-mapped files
using mmap(). This ensures that pages accessed via mmap are correctly
accounted for in the page cache.

Also add a test for /proc/cpuinfo to validate cachestat's handling of
virtual files in pseudo-filesystems. This improves test coverage for
edge cases involving non-regular files.

Tested on x86_64 with default kernel config.
