[LTP] [PATCH] hugemmap41: Migrate ptrace-write-hugepage from libhugetlbfs v3

This test verifies that ptrace POKEDATA and PEEKDATA operations work
correctly on hugepage-backed memory regions. The test creates a child
process that maps a hugepage, then the parent process uses ptrace to
attach to the child and perform write/read operations on the child's
hugepage memory.
