Subject: selftests/mm: add memory failure dirty pagecache test
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 17:37:10 +0800

This patch adds a new testcase to validate memory failure handling for
dirty pagecache.  This performs similar operations as clean pagecaches
except fsync() is not used to keep pages dirty.

This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for dirty pagecache
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery, page isolation, and
recovery paths.
