[PATCH 1/1] selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled

[PATCH 1/1] selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled

[Lance Yang]

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

The madv_populate and soft-dirty kselftests currently fail on systems where
CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled.

Introduce a new helper softdirty_is_supported() into vm_util.c/h to ensure
tests are properly skipped when the feature is not enabled.
