Subject: [PATCH 0/1] selftests/memfd: skip hugetlbfs test if not supported

Check hugetlbfs support before starting tests in run_hugetlbfs_test.sh.

Otherwise on a system that does not support hugetlbfs the free huge
pages availability check will fail with:
  ./run_hugetlbfs_test.sh: line 47: [: -lt: unary operator expected
  ./run_hugetlbfs_test.sh: line 60: 12577 Aborted                 (core dumped) ./memfd_test hugetlbfs
  Aborted (core dumped)

And it will left a fuse_mnt process behind, which may cause some
unexpected issues.

Patch tested with a kernel that does not have hugetlbfs support enabled
and the test was skipped as expected.
