[PATCH] selftests/vm: 10x speedup for hmm-tests

From: John Hubbard
Date: Fri Oct 02 2020 - 21:17:26 EST


This patch reduces the running time for hmm-tests from about 10+
seconds, to just under 1.0 second, for an approximately 10x speedup.
That brings it in line with most of the other tests in selftests/vm,
which mostly run in < 1 sec.

This is done with a one-line change that simply reduces the number of
iterations of several tests, from 256, to 10. Thanks to Ralph Campbell
for suggesting changing NTIMES as a way to get the speedup.
