Subject: selftests/mm:fix test_prctl_fork_exec return failure
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 01:29:34 -0400

After calling fork() in test_prctl_fork_exec(), the global variable
ksm_full_scans_fd is initialized to 0 in the child process upon entering
the main function of ./ksm_functional_tests.

In the function call chain test_child_ksm() -> __mmap_and_merge_range ->
ksm_merge-> ksm_get_full_scans, start_scans = ksm_get_full_scans() will
return an error.  Therefore, the value of ksm_full_scans_fd needs to be
initialized before calling test_child_ksm in the child process.
