x86/selftests: Add test for mapping placement for 5-level paging
5-level paging provides a 56-bit virtual address space for user space
application. But the kernel defaults to mappings below the 47-bit address
space boundary, which is the upper bound for 4-level paging, unless an
application explicitely request it by using a mmap(2) address hint above
the 47-bit boundary. The kernel prevents mappings which spawn across the
47-bit boundary unless mmap(2) was invoked with MAP_FIXED.
Add a self-test that covers the corner cases of the interface and validates
the correctness of the implementation.
