mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpers
This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics. This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing page table helpers or addition of new ones. This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page and validating them. Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called via late_initcall(). This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected. Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers. Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.
