Re: [PATCH 2/2] userfaultfd: selftests: modify selftest to use /dev/userfaultfd

Thanks for looking Andrew. And, fair criticism.

In keeping with the status quo, I'm thinking of just adding a new
command-line argument which toggles between the two modes.

But, if I'm honest, it's starting to feel like the test has way too
many arguments... I'm tempted to refactor the test to use the
kselftest framework [1], get rid of all these command line arguments,
and just always test everything. But, this seems like a big and
perhaps controversial refactor, so I may take it up after this
series...
