selftests: prctl: introduce tests for disabling THPs completely

The test will set the global system THP setting to never, madvise or
always depending on the fixture variant and the 2M setting to inherit
before it starts (and reset to original at teardown).  The fixture setup
will also test if PR_SET_THP_DISABLE prctl call can be made to disable all
THPs and skip if it fails.

This tests if the process can:
- successfully get the policy to disable THPs completely.
- never get a hugepage when the THPs are completely disabled
  with the prctl, including with MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE.
- successfully reset the policy of the process.
- after reset, only get hugepages with:
  - MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to never.
  - MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to madvise.
  - always when policy is set to "always".
- never get a THP with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.
- repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure
  the policy is carried across forks.
