IIRC, this is expected. The test performs the access on purpose. It spawns
a child which does this access and expects SIGBUS to be delivered to it. The
parent makes sure that the SIGBUS is delivered to by wait()-ing for it.

See :
                 /*
                  * If child process was killed by SIGBUS, bug is not reproduced.
                  */
                 if (!WIFSIGNALED(status) || WTERMSIG(status) != SIGBUS) {
                         tst_brkm(TBROK | TERRNO, cleanup,
                                  "child process terminate unexpectedly");
                 }

On arm64 we print unhandled faults to give enough information to debug the
problem, which is why you see those messages in dmesg.

So, you can ignore those messages as long as the faults are generated by
mmap16 and thetest reports success.
