[PATCH RESEND v1 1/5] selftests/mm: skip COW tmpfile cases when fallocate() is unsupported

[Muhammad Usama Anjum]

The tmpfile-backed COW cases allocate a one-page file with fallocate()
before exercising private and shared mappings.  When the filesystem
backing tmpfile() does not implement fallocate(), setup fails with
EOPNOTSUPP and no COW behavior is exercised.

This occurs when the temporary directory resides on a filesystem with
limited allocation support, such as NFSv3.  Reporting a failure adds
noise because the test prerequisite is absent rather than the COW
implementation being broken.

Report EOPNOTSUPP as a skip.  Continue treating every other fallocate()
error as a failure so unexpected setup regressions remain visible.
