[PATCH] selftests/mm: pass filename as input param to VM_PFNMAP tests

[Sudarsan Mahendran]

Enable these tests to be run on other pfnmap'ed memory like
NVIDIA's EGM.

Add '--' as a separator to pass in file path. This allows
passing of cmd line arguments to kselftest_harness.
Use '/dev/mem' as default filename.

Existing test passes:
	pfnmap
	TAP version 13
	1..6
	# Starting 6 tests from 1 test cases.
	# PASSED: 6 / 6 tests passed.
	# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Pass params to kselftest_harness:
	pfnmap -r pfnmap:mremap_fixed
	TAP version 13
	1..1
	# Starting 1 tests from 1 test cases.
	#  RUN           pfnmap.mremap_fixed ...
	#            OK  pfnmap.mremap_fixed
	ok 1 pfnmap.mremap_fixed
	# PASSED: 1 / 1 tests passed.
	# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Pass random file name as input:
	pfnmap -- /dev/blah
	TAP version 13
	1..6
	# Starting 6 tests from 1 test cases.
	#  RUN           pfnmap.madvise_disallowed ...
	#      SKIP      Cannot open '/dev/blah'

Now, if you really just pass a random *actual file* that exists, the 
test case will not actually test what we want.

Unless you have a way to verify that you actually get a PFNMAP mapping, 
this extension is questionable. It will make the test report possibly 
wrong results when wrong files are provided.

I think we can test whether we get a PFNMAP mapping by looking at the 
flags in smaps output ("pf" in flags), so I would expect such a test to 
be done in pfnmap, and the test should FAIL if the file would not create 
a PFNMAP.


But more importantly, we rely on "/proc/iomem" to find a RAM target in 
/dev/mem. That doesn't make any sense with what you are doing here.

If we are not provided /dev/mem, you should probably try mapping offset 
0 of the file.

Thanks for the review!
I've sent a follow up v2 patch.
