This test verifies that a hugepage, used as a user buffer for
DIO operations, is correctly freed upon unmapping. To test this,
we read the count of free hugepages before and after the mmap,
DIO, and munmap operations, then check if the free hugepage count
is the same.
Reading free hugepages before the test was removed by commit
0268d4579901 ('selftests: hugetlb_dio: check for initial conditions
to skip at the start'), causing the test to always fail.
This patch adds back reading the free hugepages before starting
the test. With this patch, the tests are now passing.
