Author: Chris Down <chris@chrisdown.name>
slub_kunit: Add a test for the slab_buckets boot parameter
This commit exposes slab_buckets_enabled to KUnit tests and adds a
test_slab_buckets() test case in lib/tests/slub_kunit.c to verify that
kmem_buckets_create() and memdup_user() behave as expected based on
whether slab_buckets is enabled.

[Severity: Medium]
Will test_slab_buckets() unconditionally fail on !CONFIG_MMU systems?
Neither CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST nor CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS depends on
CONFIG_MMU. When test_slab_buckets() runs in a KUnit kthread,
kunit_vm_mmap() calls kunit_vm_mmap_init() -> kunit_attach_mm() in
lib/kunit/user_alloc.c:
/* arch_pick_mmap_layout() is only sane with MMU systems. */
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MMU))
return -EINVAL;
On !CONFIG_MMU builds, kunit_vm_mmap() returns 0 and triggers
KUNIT_ASSERT_NE_MSG(test, user_addr, 0, "Could not create userspace mm").
Should test_slab_buckets() check !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MMU) and skip the
userspace allocation part of the test with kunit_skip() (similar to
usercopy_test_init() in lib/tests/usercopy_kunit.c)?
