selftest/mm: ksm_functional_tests: Add PROT_NONE test

Let's test whether merging and unmerging in PROT_NONE areas works as
expected.

Pass a page protection to mmap_and_merge_range(), which will trigger
an mprotect() after writing to the pages, but before enabling merging.

Make sure that unsharing works as expected, by performing a ptrace write
(using /proc/self/mem) and by setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE.

Note that this implicitly tests that ptrace writes in an inaccessible
(PROT_NONE) mapping work as expected.

[david@redhat.com: use sizeof(i) in test_prot_none(), per Peter]
