selftests/vm: anon_cow: test COW handling of anonymous memory

Patch series "selftests/vm: test COW handling of anonymous memory".

This is my current set of tests for testing COW handling of anonymous
memory, especially when interacting with GUP.  I developed these tests
while working on PageAnonExclusive and managed to clean them up just now.

On current upstream Linux, all tests pass except the hugetlb tests that
rely on vmsplice -- these tests should pass as soon as vmsplice properly
uses FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET.

I'm working on additional tests for COW handling in private mappings,
focusing on long-term R/O pinning e.g., of the shared zeropage, pagecache
pages and KSM pages.  These tests, however, will go into a different file.
So this is everything I have regarding tests for anonymous memory.


This patch (of 7):

Let's start adding tests for our COW handling of anonymous memory.  We'll
focus on basic tests that we can achieve without additional libraries or
gup_test extensions.

We'll add THP and hugetlb tests separately.
