[0/1] selftests/vm: 8x compaction_test speedup

Hi,

Maybe this should really be an RFC, given that I don't fully understand
why the compaction_test.c program was mmap'ing 1 MB at a time. So
apologies in advance if I've mucked up something important, but if so,
maybe we can still find a way to get this fixed up to something better.

Anyway: there are 20+ tests in tools/testing/selftests/vm/. The entire
running time for these (via run_vmtest.sh) is about 56 seconds, of which
over half is due to just one test: compaction_test, which takes 27 sec!
(A runner-up is HMM, at 11 sec, so it's up for a look next.) The other
tests mostly take a few ms, and a few take 1.0 sec.

This drops the compaction_test run time from 27, to 3.3 sec. Enjoy. :)

thanks,
John Hubbard
