Warren Xiong 8bc69b8d20 selftests/mm: read memory information without popen
read_memory_info() invokes two shell pipelines to obtain MemFree and
Hugepagesize from /proc/meminfo.  It does not check whether popen()
returns NULL before passing the result to fgets(), and it does not call
pclose() when fgets() fails.

Open /proc/meminfo directly and obtain both values in a single pass.  This
removes the unchecked NULL path, closes the file on all paths, and avoids
dependencies on external commands.

The compaction test continues to pass after this change.
