[RFC PATCH v1 0/1] refactor mseal_test

[jeffxu@chromium.org]

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@chromium.org>

This change creates the initial version of memorysealing.c.

The introduction of memorysealing.c, which replaces mseal_test.c and
uses the kselftest_harness, aims to initiate a discussion on using the
selftest harness for memory sealing tests. Upon approval of this
approach, the migration of tests from mseal_test.c to memorysealing.c
can be implemented in a step-by-step manner.

This tests addresses following feedbacks from previous reviews:

1> Use kselftest_harness instead of custom macro, such as EXPECT_XX,
ASSERT_XX, etc.  (Lorenzo Stoakes, Mark Brown, etc) [1]

2> Use MAP_FAILED to check the return of mmap (Lorenzo Stoakes).

3>  Adding a check for vma size and prot bits. The discussion for
    this can be found in [2] [3], here is a brief summary:
    This is to follow up on Pedro’s in-loop change (from
    can_modify_mm to can_modify_vma). When mseal_test is initially
    created, they have a common pattern:  setup memory layout,
    seal the memory, perform a few mm-api steps, verify return code
    (not zero).  Because of the nature of out-of-loop,  it is sufficient
    to just verify the error code in a few cases.

    With Pedro's in-loop change, the sealing check happens later in the
    stack, thus there are more things and scenarios to verify. And there
    were feedbacks to me that mseal_test should be extensive enough to
    discover all regressions. Hence I'm adding check for vma size and prot
    bits.

In this change: we created two fixtures:

Fixture basic:   This creates a single VMA, the VMA has a
    PROT_NONE page at each end to prevent auto-merging.

Fixture wo_vma: Two VMAs back to end, a PROT_NONE page at each
    end to prevent auto-merging.

In addition, I add one test (mprotec) in each fixture for discussion.
