These patches add tests for memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw(). There are two
sets of tests: range tests and NUMA tests. The range tests use a normal
(i.e., UMA) simulated physical memory and set the nid to NUMA_NO_NODE. The
NUMA tests use a simulated physical memory that is set up with multiple
NUMA nodes. Additionally, most of the NUMA tests set nid != NUMA_NO_NODE.

For the range tests, the TEST_F_EXACT flag is used to run the same set of
range tests used for memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(). The NUMA tests have the
same setup as the corresponding test for memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(), but
several of the memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() tests fail to allocate
memory in setups where the memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() test would
allocate memory. Also, some memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() tests drop the
lower limit of the requested range in order to allocate within the
requested node, but the same setup in a memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() test
allocates within the requested range.

Thanks a lot Rebecca for moving forward with these changes even after your Outreachy internship ended!
