[LTP] [PATCH] thp02: simplify test to lower memory requirements

Test is using 4 hugepages per allocation, and makes 4*3 allocations
in total. This is problem for aarch64, where default huge page size
is 512M. Systems are running into unexpected OOMs, because there
is no check for available memory.

Simplify test by:
- dropping 3rd allocation, it's used only for pattern comparison
- run test function in new child process, so we don't need to worry
  about cleaning up after mremap() and it lowers overall memory
  requirements
- add a simple check if there's enough memory to setup()
- drop .needs_root, there's no need for it
