A task in the kernel (task_mm_cid_work) runs somewhat periodically to
compact the mm_cid for each process, this test tries to validate that
it runs correctly and timely.
The test spawns 1 thread pinned to each CPU, then each thread, including
the main one, run in short bursts for some time. During this period, the
mm_cids should be spanning all numbers between 0 and nproc.
At the end of this phase, a thread with high enough mm_cid (> nproc/2)
is selected to be the new leader, all other threads terminate.
After some time, the only running thread should see 0 as mm_cid, if that
doesn't happen, the compaction mechanism didn't work and the test fails.
The test never fails if only 1 core is available, in which case, we
cannot test anything as the only available mm_cid is 0.

We'd want a synchronization point to join the main thread. I'm not sure
if the main thread is joinable.
Perhaps we could try calling pthread_self() from the main thread, and
store that in the main thread struct thread_args, and use it to join
the main thread afterwards ?

Including the main thread, we end up creating nr_cpus + 1 threads.
I suspect we want to take the main thread into account here, and create
one less thread.
We could use tinfo[0] to store the main thread info.

It would be better that each thread set their own affinity when
they start rather than having the main thread set each created thread
affinity while they are already running. Otherwise it's racy and
timing-dependent.
And don't forget to set the main thread's affinity.
Thanks,
Mathieu
