The `collapse_max_ptes_none` test was previously failing when a THP size less than PMD-size had enabled="always". The root cause is because the test faults in 1 page less than the threshold it set for collapsing. But when THP is enabled always, we "over allocate" and therefore the threshold is passed, and collapse unexpectedly succeeds. Solve this by enlightening khugepaged selftest. Add a command line option to pass in the desired THP size that should be used for all anonymous allocations. The harness will then explicitly configure a THP size as requested and modify the `collapse_max_ptes_none` test so that it faults in the threshold minus the number of pages in the configured THP size. If no command line option is provided, default to order 0, as per previous behaviour. I chose to use an order in the command line interface, since this makes the interface agnostic of base page size, making it easier to invoke from run_vmtests.sh.

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.
