[PATCH] selftests/mm: fix FORCE_READ to read input value correctly.

[Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>]

FORCE_READ() converts input value x to its pointer type then reads from
address x. This is wrong. If x is a non-pointer, it would be caught it
easily. But all FORCE_READ() callers are trying to read from a pointer and
FORCE_READ() basically reads a pointer to a pointer instead of the original
typed pointer. Almost no access violation was found, except the one from
split_huge_page_test.

Fix it by implementing a simplified READ_ONCE() instead.

Fixes: 3f6bfd4789a0 ("selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));"")

FORCE_READ() comes from commit 876320d71f51 ("selftests/mm: add self tests for
guard page feature"). I will a separate patch to stable tree.
