[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] brk02: Add test for removing more than one VMA

When brk expands, it attempts to expand a VMA.  This expansion will
succeed depending on the anonymous VMA chain and if the vma flags are
compatible.  This test expands brk() then calls mprotect to ensure the
next brk call will create a new VMA, then it calls brk a final time to
restore the first brk address.  The test is the final brk call which
will remove more than an entire VMA from the vm area.
