selftests/mm: add folio_split() and filemap_get_entry() race test
The added folio_split_race_test is a modified C port of the race condition test from [1]. The test creates shmem huge pages, where the main thread punches holes in the shmem to cause folio_split() in the kernel and a set of 16 threads reads the shmem to cause filemap_get_entry() in the kernel. filemap_get_entry() reads the folio and xarray split by folio_split() locklessly. The original test[2] is written in rust and uses memfd (shmem backed). This C port uses shmem directly and use a single process.
Note: the initial rust to C conversion is done by Cursor.
