[PATCH 12/16] selftests/mm: add memory-pressure threads to the khugepaged race harness

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

The race harness exercises collapse against faults, pins, fork, mremap and
MADV_DONTNEED, but nothing in it ever elevates a source folio's refcount
from the reclaim or compaction side: LRU isolation, migration of a source
folio out from under the collapse, or swap traffic churning the LRU while
a collapse is in progress.

Add -p, which starts two more racing threads:

 - pageout: cycles MADV_PAGEOUT over a dedicated neighbor region
   (4 PMD areas, clamped to [16M, 64M]), faulting everything back in and
   verifying content each round -- swap traffic and LRU churn with an
   exact correctness check, since a page's pattern must survive the round
   trip through swap. Disabled with a note when the host has no swap:
   without it there is no anon reclaim to drive.

 - compactor: writes to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory in a loop. Compaction
   isolates and migrates folios, so it competes with a collapse for the
   very pages it is trying to gather, with transient refcount elevations
   and migration entries of its own.
