selftests/mm: read memory information without popen
read_memory_info() invokes two shell pipelines to obtain MemFree and Hugepagesize from /proc/meminfo. It does not check whether popen() returns NULL before passing the result to fgets(), and it does not call pclose() when fgets() fails. Open /proc/meminfo directly and obtain both values in a single pass. This removes the unchecked NULL path, closes the file on all paths, and avoids dependencies on external commands. The compaction test continues to pass after this change.
