I'd sent a patch to fix this behavior today. This test should run without
root privileges.

run_vmtests.sh is invoked without sudo with following:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm run_tests

Installing sudo in rootfs wouldn't be trivial enough on the CI side.
Alternatively, we can check if sudo is present before executing this test
to avoid error that sudo isn't found.
