[PATCH v2 06/13] selftest/mm: adjust hugepage-mremap test size for large huge pages

The hugepage-mremap selftest uses a default size of 10MB, which is
sufficient for small huge page sizes. However, when the huge page size
is large (e.g. 1GB), 10MB is smaller than a single huge page.
As a result, the test does not trigger PMD sharing and the
corresponding unshare path in mremap(), causing the
test to fail (mremap succeeds where a failure is expected).

Update run_vmtest.sh to use twice the huge page size when the huge page
size exceeds 10MB, while retaining the 10MB default for smaller huge
pages. This ensures the test exercises the intended PMD sharing and
unsharing paths for larger huge page sizes.
