Refactor the guest_memfd selftest to improve test isolation by creating a
a new guest_memfd for each testcase. Currently, the test reuses a single
guest_memfd instance for all testcases, and thus creates dependencies
between tests, e.g. not truncating folios from the guest_memfd instance
at the end of a test could lead to unexpected results (see the PUNCH_HOLE
purging that needs to done by in-flight the NUMA testcases[1]).
Invoke each test via a macro wrapper to create and close a guest_memfd
to cut down on the boilerplate copy+paste needed to create a test.

Lisa and I ran into this recently while working on testing
memory_failure() handling for guest_memfd too.

I introduced a wrapper function but a macro is a better idea since it
also parametrizes the test name.

Can we have a const for total_size that sets it to `page_size * 4`
instead of hardcoding that value twice?
With that:
