[PATCH RFC v3 6/6] selftests/mm: cover /proc/pid/mem access to VM_PFNMAP memory

[Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>]

Reading a VM_PFNMAP mapping through /proc/pid/mem exercises
__access_remote_vm() two ways: a COWed page has a struct page and is
returned by get_user_page_vma(), while a raw PFN has none and is reached
through vma->vm_ops->access().

Add two tests to pfnmap.c, both reading VM_PFNMAP memory through
/proc/self/mem.

procmem_cow_read maps the file MAP_PRIVATE and writable, writes to COW a
page, then reads it back. Without the struct-page path in
get_user_page_vma() this read is short: the access falls back to
generic_access_phys(), which ioremaps the PFN, and ioremap of a COWed RAM
page is rejected.

procmem_pfn_read reads a raw PFN back through ->access(). ioremap rejects
RAM, so it runs only for genuine device memory and is skipped for the
default /dev/mem System RAM target.
