The large chunks test needs 2MB hugepages for its mmap allocation,
but the test system may not have any pre-allocated. Ensure at least
64 hugepages are available before running the test, and restore the
original value on cleanup.

While at it strip the stdout, it has a trailing new line.

Before:
  ok 5 iou-zcrx.test_zcrx_large_chunks # SKIP Can't allocate huge pages

While working on a similar fix I found that the probe here also requires a barrier.

Thanks,
