selftests/x86/lam: Add inherit test cases for linear-address masking

LAM is enabled per-thread and gets inherited on fork(2)/clone(2). exec()
reverts LAM status to the default disabled state.

There are two test scenarios:

 - Fork test cases:

   These cases were used to test the inheritance of LAM for per-thread,
   Child process generated by fork() should inherit LAM feature from
   parent process, Child process can get the LAM mode same as parent
   process.

 - Execve test cases:

   Processes generated by execve() are different from processes
   generated by fork(), these processes revert LAM status to disabled
   status.
