Ryan Roberts f6dd4e223d selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests on arm64
arm64 does not support the soft-dirty PTE bit.  However, the `soft-dirty`
test suite is currently run unconditionally and therefore generates
spurious test failures on arm64.  There are also some tests in
`madv_populate` which assume it is supported.

For `soft-dirty` lets disable the whole suite for arm64; it is no longer
built and run_vmtests.sh will skip it if its not present.

For `madv_populate`, we need a runtime mechanism so that the remaining
tests continue to be run.  Unfortunately, the only way to determine if the
soft-dirty dirty bit is supported is to write to a page, then see if the
bit is set in /proc/self/pagemap.  But the tests that we want to
conditionally execute are testing precicesly this.  So if we introduced
this feature check, we could accedentally turn a real failure (on a system
that claims to support soft-dirty) into a skip.  So instead, do the check
based on architecture; for arm64, we report that soft-dirty is not
supported.
