selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test
Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as expected. Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging. Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write (using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE. Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible (PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.
