Add :collapse mod to userfaultfd selftest. Currently this mod is only valid for "shmem" test type, but could be used for other test types. When provided, memory allocated by ->allocate_area() will be hugepage-aligned enforced to be hugepage-sized. userfaultf_minor_test, after the UFFD-registered mapping has been populated by UUFD minor fault handler, attempt to MADV_COLLAPSE the UFFD-registered mapping to collapse the memory into a pmd-mapped THP. This test is meant to be a functional test of what occurs during UFFD-driven live migration of VMs backed by huge tmpfs where, after a hugepage-sized region has been successfully migrated (in native page-sized chunks, to avoid latency of fetched a hugepage over the network), we want to reclaim previous VM performance by remapping it at the PMD level.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
