Various improvements/fixes for the mm kselftests:

- Patch 1-3 extend support for more build configurations: out-of-tree
  $KDIR, cross-compilation, etc.

- Patch 4-6 fix issues related to faulting in pages, introducing a new
  helper for that purpose.

- Patch 7 fixes the value returned by pagemap_ioctl (PASS was always
  returned, which explains why the issue fixed in patch 6 went
  unnoticed).

- Patch 8 improves the exit code of pfnmap.

Net results:
- 1 test no longer fails (patch 6)
- 3 tests are no longer skipped (patch 4)
- More accurate return values for whole suites (patch 7, 8)
- Extra tests are more likely to be built (patch 1-3)
