Several MM selftests report failures when the test environment lacks
an underlying prerequisite, such as fallocate() support, MADV_REMOVE,
local page-cache semantics, or swap.
This series converts those unsupported cases to SKIP while preserving
failures for unexpected errors. It also allows migration tests to retry
transient move_pages() failures.
Tested on an arm64 Ampere system using an NFS root filesystem. The MM
selftest run completed without failures or errors. Also verified on
x86_64 to ensure the changes do not cause unexpected errors.
Changes since v1:
- Print swapout diagnostics before reporting no-swap skips.
- Limit the NFS skip to the hard dirty-page variant.
- Retry per-page failures for the full runtime.
- Verify that both alternating NUMA targets are reached.
