We noticed that uffd-stress test was always failing to run when invoked
for the hugetlb profiles on x86_64 systems with a processor count of 64
or bigger:
...
# ------------------------------------
# running ./uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32
# ------------------------------------
# ERROR: invalid MiB (errno=9, @uffd-stress.c:459)
...
# [FAIL]
not ok 3 uffd-stress hugetlb 128 32 # exit=1
...

The problem boils down to how run_vmtests.sh (mis)calculates the size
of the region it feeds to uffd-stress. The latter expects to see an
amount of MiB while the former is just giving out the number of free
hugepages halved down. This measurement discrepancy ends up violating
uffd-stress' assertion on number of hugetlb pages allocated per CPU,
causing it to bail out with the error above.

This commit fixes that issue by adjusting run_vmtests.sh's half_ufd_size_MB
calculation so it properly renders the region size in MiB, as expected,
while maintaining all of its original constraints in place.
