selftests/mm/guard-regions: skip collapse test when thp not enabled

Patch series "selftests/mm: skip several tests when thp is not available",
v8.

There are several tests requires transprarent hugepages, when run on thp
disabled kernel such as realtime kernel, there will be false negative.
Mark those tests as skip when thp is not available.


This patch (of 6):

When thp is not available, just skip the collape tests to avoid the false
negative.

Without the change, run with a thp disabled kernel:
./run_vmtests.sh -t madv_guard -n 1
<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.anon.collapse ...
# guard-regions.c:2217:collapse:Expected madvise(ptr, size, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) (-1) == 0 (0)
# collapse: Test terminated by assertion
