[PATCH v2 01/17] selftests/mm: skip collapse_compound_extreme where the PMD is too large

From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <[email protected]>

collapse_compound_extreme builds a PTE table full of distinct PTE-mapped
compound pages by cycling hpage_pmd_nr fault-time THPs through mremap.  It
therefore needs hpage_pmd_nr PMD-order allocations in a row.  That is fine
at a 2M PMD (4K base pages) or a 32M one (16K), but a 512M PMD -- arm64
with 64K base pages -- makes each of those an order-13 allocation, which
the allocator cannot reliably hand out even once, let alone 8192 times.

The failure is not a quiet one: the case calls ksft_exit_fail_msg(), so the
whole binary stops and every case after it is lost.

Skip the case where the PMD is larger than 32M.  The MADV_COLLAPSE cases
still cover PMD-order collapse on those configurations, and 4K and 16K
PMDs are unaffected.
