Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion" fixes a
couple of issues in the demotion code - pages were failed demotion
and were finding themselves demoted into disallowed nodes (Bing Jiao)

- "Remove XA_ZERO from error recovery of dup_mmap()" fixes a rare
mapledtree race and performs a number of cleanups (Liam Howlett)

- "mm: add bitmap VMA flag helpers and convert all mmap_prepare to use
them" implements a lot of cleanups following on from the conversion
of the VMA flags into a bitmap (Lorenzo Stoakes)

- "support batch checking of references and unmapping for large folios"
implements batching to greatly improve the performance of reclaiming
clean file-backed large folios (Baolin Wang)

- "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests" does as claimed (Miaohe
Lin)

tools/testing/vma: add VMA userland tests for VMA flag functions

Now we have the capability to test the new helpers for the bitmap VMA
flags in userland, do so.

We also update the Makefile such tha

tools/testing/vma: add VMA userland tests for VMA flag functions

Now we have the capability to test the new helpers for the bitmap VMA
flags in userland, do so.

We also update the Makefile such that both VMA (and while we're here)
mm_struct flag sizes can be customised on build. We default to 128-bit to
enable testing of flags above word size even on 64-bit systems.

We add userland tests to ensure that we do not regress VMA flag behaviour
with the introduction when using bitmap VMA flags, nor accidentally
introduce unexpected results due to for instance higher bit values not
being correctly cleared/set.

As part of this change, make __mk_vma_flags() a custom function so we can
handle specifying invalid VMA bits. This is purposeful so we can have the
VMA tests work at lower and higher number of VMA flags without having to
duplicate code too much.

tools/testing/vma: separate VMA userland tests into separate files

So far the userland VMA tests have been established as a rough expression
of what's been possible.

Adapt it into a more usable form by separating out tests and shared
helper functions.

Since we test functions that are declared statically in mm/vma.c, we make
use of the trick of #include'ing kernel C files directly.

In order for the tests to continue to function, we must therefore also
this way into the tests/ directory.

We try to keep as much shared logic actually modularised into a separate
compilation unit in shared.c, however the merge_existing() and
attach_vma() helpers rely on statically declared mm/vma.c functions so
these must be declared in main.c.
