gup_test.c currently serves two distinct purposes: microbenchmarking
(GUP_FAST_BENCHMARK, PIN_FAST_BENCHMARK, PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK) and
functional correctness testing (GUP_BASIC_TEST, PIN_BASIC_TEST,
DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST). Mixing these in a single binary means functional
tests cannot be run or reported individually, and run_vmtests.sh must
invoke the binary multiple times with different flag combinations to
cover all configurations. This patch series separates the two concerns:
tools/mm/gup_bench for benchmarking and tools/testing/selftests/mm/gup_test
for functional testing.

Patch 1 adds tools/mm/gup_bench.c, a standalone microbenchmark for
GUP_FAST, PIN_FAST and PIN_LONGTERM via the CONFIG_GUP_TEST debugfs
interface. It runs the same matrix of configurations as the old
run_gup_matrix() shell function (all three commands, read/write,
private/shared, four page counts, THP on/off, hugetlb), but as a
standalone C program under tools/mm with no dependency on kselftest.

Patch 2 rewrites gup_test.c as a kselftest harness-based selftest. It
covers all five GUP kernel functions (get_user_pages, get_user_pages_fast,
pin_user_pages, pin_user_pages_fast, pin_user_pages with FOLL_LONGTERM)
plus DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST, across 12 mapping configurations (THP on,
THP off and hugetlb, each across private/shared and read/write variants)
and four batch sizes (1, 512, 123, all pages). Results are reported as
standard TAP output with no command-line arguments required.

---
These patches apply on top of mm/mm-new.

Changes in v2:
- Address v1 feedback from Sashiko
- Add fast and longterm GUP/PUP coverage
- Sweep nr_pages_per_call over 1, 512, 123, and all pages
- Call madvise(MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) in non-THP variants
- Use 256 MB for hugetlb fixtures
- Use hugetlb_restore_settings() in FIXTURE_TEARDOWN instead of atexit()
- Add TH_LOG to report nr_pages_per_call for each iteration
- Update Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst unit testing section
