selftests/mm: add khugepaged completion barrier helper

A khugepaged test has to tell "not collapsed" from "not scanned yet", and
nothing in the selftests can. wait_for_scan() in khugepaged.c comes
closest: it polls full_scans until the counter has advanced by two, since
the pass in progress may already have passed the test's mm. But it only
returns in time if scan_sleep_millisecs happens to be short, and it is
private to that one test.

Add khugepaged_full_pass() to hugepage_settings, built on the same
advance-by-two wait but driven through sysfs: a store to
scan_sleep_millisecs wakes the daemon, so the barrier completes whatever
the scan cadence. A store made while the daemon is scanning rather than
sleeping is lost, so the helper keeps storing until the pass lands.

One wake completes one pass only if pages_to_scan covers every mm on the
list, so callers need it large.

Settings pushes must not start passes of their own. A store to either
sleep knob wakes the daemon, so thp_write_settings() now writes a
khugepaged knob only when its value changes.

selftests/mm: skip khugepaged page cache cases without a PMD folio

The page cache caps folio order at MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER, which is below the
PMD order on arm64 with 64K pages, where a PMD is 512M.

selftests/mm: skip khugepaged page cache cases without a PMD folio

The page cache caps folio order at MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER, which is below the
PMD order on arm64 with 64K pages, where a PMD is 512M. A PMD-sized page
cache folio is impossible there, so the kernel refuses these collapses:
MADV_COLLAPSE answers -EINVAL and khugepaged passes over the range. Four
shmem cases ask for a PMD-sized folio anyway, fail, and the run bails out
in the middle.

Skip the shmem and file mem types where the cap is below the PMD order.

The cap is not shmem-specific: it applies to every file folio. Add
thp_file_supported_orders() to read the orders the page cache allows.

Anonymous collapse is unaffected: its orders are not capped this way.

tools/lib/mm: move hugepage_settings out of selftests

Move hugepage_settings.[ch] from tools/testing/selftests/mm/ to
tools/lib/mm/ so the THP and HugeTLB helpers can be shared more easily
between selftests and other tools.

Keep the helpers exposed to mm selftests through vm_util.h where possible,
and use direct <mm/hugepage_settings.h> includes for files that do not
include vm_util.h. Adjust the selftests/mm build to compile the moved
implementation from its new location.

Remove the remaining kselftest dependency by including file_utils.h
directly and using EXIT_FAILURE in the signal handler.
