Subject: [RFC 12/12] selftests/mm: add PUD THP migration test

Add a test that uses mbind() to change the NUMA memory policy, which
triggers migration. The kernel must split PUD THPs before migration
since there is no PUD-level migration entry support. The test verifies
data integrity after the migration attempt.
