A task in the kernel (task_mm_cid_work) runs somewhat periodically to
compact the mm_cid for each process. Add a test to validate that it runs
correctly and timely.
The test spawns 1 thread pinned to each CPU, then each thread, including
the main one, runs in short bursts for some time. During this period, the
mm_cids should be spanning all numbers between 0 and nproc.
At the end of this phase, a thread with high enough mm_cid (>= nproc/2)
is selected to be the new leader, all other threads terminate.
After some time, the only running thread should see 0 as mm_cid, if that
doesn't happen, the compaction mechanism didn't work and the test fails.
The test never fails if only 1 core is available, in which case, we
cannot test anything as the only available mm_cid is 0.
