Subject: [PATCH] selftests: secretmem: Floor the memory size to the multiple of page_size

The "locked-in-memory size" limit per process can be non-multiple of
page_size. The mmap() fails if we try to allocate locked-in-memory
with same size as the allowed limit if it isn't multiple of the
page_size because mmap() rounds off the memory size to be allocated
to next multiple of page_size.

Fix this by flooring the length to be allocated with mmap() to the
previous multiple of the page_size.

I'd like to understand how this was noticed, what the ongoing effect
might be, etc. To help decide which kernel version(s) need the patch.

Which is one of the reasons we're now placing a Closes: tag after a
Reported-by:.

This was getting triggered on KernelCI regularly because of different
ulimit settings which wasn't multiple of the page_size. Find logs here:
https://linux.kernelci.org/test/plan/id/657654bd8e81e654fae13532/ The bug
in was present from the time test was first added.

I was looking for email report from KernelCI. But I didn't find it. Not
sure if we can do something like following:
Closes: https://linux.kernelci.org/test/plan/id/657654bd8e81e654fae13532/

With mlock limit smaller than a page we get zero length here and mmap will
fail with -EINVAL because of it.
In this case I think we can just skip the first mmap and only check that
mmaping more than mlock limit fails.

This test has a initialization step in prepare() where it increases the
limit to at least a page if it is less than a page. Hence we'll never get
len = 0 here.
