[PATCH 1/2] selftests/mm: compaction_test: Fix incorrect write of zero to nr_hugepages

nr_hugepages is not set to zero because the file offset has not been reset
after read(). Fix that using lseek().

Andrew, does it sound reasonable to have the fixes tag in the above
patch too, along with this series?
