Subject: [PATCH RESEND] selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh: skip hugevm tests if write_to_hugetlbfs is missing

The hugevm tests 'charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh' and 'hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh'
depend on the 'write_to_hugetlbfs' binary to simulate writes to hugetlbfs
while checking reservations asynchronously in the background.

When this binary is missing (e.g., excluded from the build), these tests hang
for up to 180 seconds. During this time, run_vmtests.sh is eventually killed
due to timeout, aborting all subsequent tests.

This patch skips these tests if the binary is not found, preventing delays
and ensuring that the test suite runs to completion.
