Mark Brown reported seeing a regression in -next on 32 bit arm with the
mlock selftests. Before exiting and marking the tests failed, the following
message was logged after an attempt to create a MAP_DROPPABLE mapping:

Bail out! mmap error: Unknown error 524

It turns out error 524 is ENOTSUPP which is an error that userspace is not
supposed to see, but it indicates in this instance that MAP_DROPPABLE is
not supported.

The first patch changes the errno returned to EOPNOTSUPP. The second patch
is a second version of a prior patch to introduce selftests to verify
locking behavior with droppable mappings with the additional change to skip
the tests when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported. The third patch fixes the
MAP_DROPPABLE selftest so that it is run by the framework and skips if
MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported.

v4:
- Removed unnecessary #ifdef MAP_DROPPABLE from patch 2 (DavidH)
- Changed the tests to also skip if mmap() returns EINVAL
- Added a third patch to fix the MAP_DROPPABLE selftest

v3:
- Added acked-by's and reviewed-by's to patch 1
- Addressed sashiko AI reviewbot questions:
  - Call munlockall() if test_mlockall_future_droppable() returns early
  - Skip the tests if they are compiled for an older kernel without
    MAP_DROPPABLE.

v2:
- Remove unnecessary mlock() call from selftest (DavidH)
- Change tests to not exit on failure (DavidH)

On configs where MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported (currently any 32-bit
config except for PPC32), mmap fails with errno set to ENOTSUPP.
However, ENOTSUPP is not a standard error value that userspace knows
about. The acceptable userspace-visible errno to use is EOPNOTSUPP.
checkpatch.pl has a warning to this effect.

Fixes: 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings")

For configs that support MAP_DROPPABLE verify that a mapping created
with MAP_DROPPABLE cannot be locked via mlock(), and that it will not
be locked if it's created after mlockall(MCL_FUTURE).

The test was not being run by the selftest framework so it was never
noticed that it would fail with an assertion failure on configs without
support for MAP_DROPPABLE. Update the test so that it is skipped instead
when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported, and add it to the mmap category so
that the test is run by the framework.
