[LTP] [PATCH v3] move_pages12: handle errno EBUSY for madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE)

The test#2 is going to simulate the race condition, where move_pages()
and soft offline are called on a single hugetlb page concurrently. But,
it return EBUSY and report FAIL in soft-offline a moving hugepage as a
result sometimes.
The root cause seems a call to page_huge_active return false, then the
soft offline action will failed to isolate hugepage with EBUSY return as
below call trace:
In Parent:
madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE)
...
soft_offline_page
soft_offline_in_use_page
soft_offline_huge_page
isolate_huge_page
page_huge_active
# return false at here
In Child:
move_pages()
...
do_move_pages
do_move_pages_to_node
add_page_for_migration
isolate_huge_page
# it has already isolated the hugepage
In this patch, I simply regard the returned EBUSY as a normal situation and
mask it in error handler. Because move_pages is calling add_page_for_migration
to isolate hugepage before do migration, so that's very possible to hit the
collision and return EBUSY on the same page.
Error log:

[165435.725493] soft offline: 0x61400 hugepage failed to isolate
Other two fixes in this patch:
* use TERRNO(but not TTERRNO) to catch madvise(..., MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) errno
* retry mmap when hugepage allocating failed with ENOMEM
* retry numa_move_pages when hitting ENOMEM

Notes:
Hi Cyril,
Since the SIGBUS problem has been marked as mainline kernel issue, and
Mike has worked out a patch[1] to LKML for solving that. So we have no
necessary to mask the SIGBUS again for move_page12. Here I take your
suggest to retry mmap while hitting ENOMEM in the test looping.
And, after the patch[1] merging in linus kernel. I'll help to note the
SIGBUS issue/patch in test#2 code comments via a seperate patch.
