Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as
expected.
Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger
an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging.
Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write
(using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE.
Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible
(PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.

Andrew, can you squash the following?
From c2be7c02cb96b9189a52a5937821600ef4e259bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2023 17:33:54 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] Fixup: selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test
As noted by Peter, we should be using sizeof(i) in test_prot_none().

sizeof(i)? May not matter a huge lot, though..
