In order to extend test_prctl_fork() and test_prctl_fork_exec() to make
sure that deduplication really happens, mmap_and_merge_range() needs to be
refactored.
Firstly, mmap_and_merge_range() will be called with no need to call enable
KSM by madvise or prctl. So, switch the 'bool use_prctl' parameter to enum
ksm_merge_mode.
Secondly, mmap_and_merge_range() will be called in child process in the
two testcases, it isn't appropriate to call ksft_test_result_{fail, skip},
because the global variables ksft_{fail, skip} aren't consistent with the
parent process. Thus, convert calls of ksft_test_result_{fail, skip} to
ksft_print_msg(), return differrent error according to the two cases, and
rename mmap_and_merge_range() to __mmap_and_merge_range(). For existing
callers, introduce new mmap_and_merge_range() to handle different return
values of __mmap_and_merge_range().
