mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test
Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3.
Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies. The two main points are:
1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version
of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(),
at least on user-space pages.
For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
that.
Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
dump_pages() sub-test").
2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that
libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes
just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.
Further details in the commit description of patch #8
("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").
Other smaller things that this series does:
a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.
b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
run_vmtests.sh.
c) Other minor assorted improvements.

This patch (of 9):
Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test".
The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself.
The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and
definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly,
however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is
non-benchmark related.
Closely related changes:
* Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to
GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a
benchmark-only test.
