[LTP] [LTP PATCH v1 1/1] syscalls/madvise11: Add some memory page soft-offlining control

Thank you very much Petr for your feedback.

The 2 failure cases you told me about look very different:

Fedora is failing on the cleanup phase, and I need to investigate that.
But SLE12-SP2 kernel makes the test-case fail in a way that seems to 
indicate it has a problem dealing with soft-offlined pages and may need 
some fixes.

Please let me try out Fedora 5.13.16-200.fc34.x86_64, and if you have a 
pointer where I could find it (?) that could help.

Thanks,
William.
