The main changes in this series are to refactor shared tracing and assertion
helpers into a common file, unify both pkey selftests on pkey_assert() and
per-test tracing for consistent diagnostics, and add missing mmap() return
checks with MAP_FAILED used throughout for readability and consistency.

selftests/mm: Refactor pkey test helpers and unify assertions
selftests/mm: add missing mmap() return checks in pkey tests
