[LTP] [PATCH v2] move_pages12: Make sure hugepages are available

Hi!

None so far, but I haven't been running the test on anything else than
machines with just two numa nodes so far.

> I wonder if we should replace memset with MAP_POPULATE.

Isn't MAP_POPULATE best effort only?

I guess that we can then call mincore() to check if MAP_POPULATE really
populated the pages and possibly try dropping system caches and retry
again then produce TCONF if we happen to fail again.

Looks like we happen to got the signal when we try to fault third page,
at least if the si_addr is correct it points in the middle of the
mapping. So I guess that there is not enough continuous blocks to back
the mapping.
