selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction



This tool induces memory fragmentation via sequential allocation of
transparent huge pages and splitting off everything except their last
sub-pages.  It easily generates pressure to the memory compaction code.

$ perf stat -e 'compaction:*' -e 'migrate:*' ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: allocate 7858 transhuge pages, using 15716 MiB virtual memory and 61 MiB of ram
transhuge-stress: 1.653 s/loop, 0.210 ms/page,   9504.828 MiB/s	7858 succeed,    0 failed, 2439 different pages
