[PATCH v2 0/2] support kselftest on nommu platform

We add an ability to execute kselftest on nommu platforms.

Currently there are several issues if we wish to run kselftests on nommu
targets:

- it cannot compile/build test binaries because the current files mainly
  assume to build with glibc,
- some of the tests are not able to run on nommu targets as there are no
  fork(2) syscall.

The first issue can be avoided if we can build static PIE binaries (if
targets support it), but in our case (build on ubuntu/glibc and run on
alpine/musl-libc), it fails to invoke due to lack of the GNU ifunc
mechanism.  Thus, we need to cross-compile with musl toolchain, which
needs to be solved the first issue.

The second issue is the lack of fork(2) syscall on those platforms.
Especially the test harness helper (kselftest_harness.h) uses the
syscall, which cannot be simply with vfork(2).  `timeout` command used
in `runner.sh` never works for nommu platform as it uses fork(2).

nommu component in the mm subsystem has several known issues and having
test cases should help this situation, thus this patchset is very first
step toward enriching test environment which has not been well tested
for a while.  The test cases is implemented based on the document
(Documentation/admin-guide/mm/nommu-mmap.rst).

So, for the first step, nommu targets only support low-level API of
kselftests (kselftest.h), and implement tests in a new target,
TARGETS=mm/nommu.  Other targets are currently not even able to build
due to toolchain issues but will be addressed once the initial
introduction which mainly focuses on nommu test will be settled.

The patch was initially combined with other patches but is decoupled to
only focus on test framework and testcases.
