selftests/mm/uffd: remove static address usage in shmem_allocate_area()
The current shmem_allocate_area() implementation uses a hardcoded virtual base address (BASE_PMD_ADDR) as a hint for mmap() when creating shmem-backed test areas. This approach is fragile and may fail on systems with ASLR or different virtual memory layouts, where the chosen address is unavailable. Replace the static base address with a dynamically reserved address range obtained via mmap(NULL, ..., PROT_NONE). The memfd-backed areas and their alias are then mapped into that reserved region using MAP_FIXED, preserving the original layout and aliasing semantics while avoiding collisions with unrelated mappings. This change improves robustness and portability of the test suite without altering its behavior or coverage.
