Fix a dormant bug in userfaultfd_events_test(), where we did

This caused the forked process to keep running, trying to execute any
further test cases after the events test in parallel with the "real"
process.

Add a simple test case which exercises minor faults. In short, it does
the following:

1. "Sets up" an area (area_dst) and a second shared mapping to the same
   underlying pages (area_dst_alias).

2. Register one of these areas with userfaultfd, in minor fault mode.

3. Start a second thread to handle any minor faults.

4. Populate the underlying pages with the non-UFFD-registered side of
   the mapping. Basically, memset() each page with some arbitrary
   contents.

5. Then, using the UFFD-registered mapping, read all of the page
   contents, asserting that the contents match expectations (we expect
   the minor fault handling thread can modify the page contents before
   resolving the fault).

The minor fault handling thread, upon receiving an event, flips all the
bits (~) in that page, just to prove that it can modify it in some
arbitrary way. Then it issues a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl, to setup the
mapping and resolve the fault. The reading thread should wake up and see
this modification.

Currently the minor fault test is only enabled in hugetlb_shared mode,
as this is the only configuration the kernel feature supports.
