Re: [PATCH v2 5/6] userfaultfd: selftests: make /dev/userfaultfd testing configurable

Instead of always testing both userfaultfd(2) and /dev/userfaultfd,
let the user choose which to test.

As with other test features, change the behavior based on a new
command line flag. Introduce the idea of "test mods", which are
generic (not specific to a test type) modifications to the behavior of
the test. This is sort of borrowed from this RFC patch series [1], but
simplified a bit.

The benefit is, in "typical" configurations this test is somewhat slow
(say, 30sec or something). Testing both clearly doubles it, so it may
not always be desirable, as users are likely to use one or the other,
but never both, in the "real world".

At this point, it might make it so much easier and maintainable if
we were to use getopt instead of parsing options.

Same comments as before on fail vs. skip conditions to watch out
for and report them correctly.
