Seems like this and 2/3 follow the same pattern. The setups are
reasonably similar and could be encapsulated in tst_hugepage.

nr_opt also seems suspicious. The test only ever allocates one page at a
time regardless of what this is set to. Changing it will just change how
much free memory we check for unless I am mistaken.
