[LTP] [PATCH v3 7/7] mremap09: Add test for expanding over unmapped gap

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

Add a test case for mremap() without MREMAP_MAYMOVE where we map
three pages, unmap the middle one to create a hole, and then
attempt to expand the first page to cover all three. The mremap()
call must fail with ENOMEM since the third page is occupied.
