Aboorva Devarajan e36215431c selftests/mm: skip thuge-gen test if system is not setup properly
Make thuge-gen skip instead of fail when it can't run due to system
settings.  If shmmax is too small or no 1G huge pages are available, the
test now prints a warning and is marked as skipped.

-------------------
Before Patch:
-------------------
~ running ./thuge-gen
~ Bail out! Please do echo 262144 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
~ Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
~ [FAIL]
not ok 28 thuge-gen ~ exit=1

-------------------
After Patch:
-------------------
~ running ./thuge-gen
~ ~ WARNING: shmmax is too small to run this test.
~ ~ Please run the following command to increase shmmax:
~ ~ echo 262144 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
~ 1..0 ~ SKIP Test skipped due to insufficient shmmax value.
~ [SKIP]
ok 29 thuge-gen ~ SKIP

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 reStructuredText 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.
