Ryan Roberts a32bf5bb79 selftests/mm: set allocated memory to non-zero content in cow test 
After commit b1f202060a ("mm: remap unused subpages to shared zeropage
when splitting isolated thp"), cow test cases involving swapping out THPs
via madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) started to be skipped due to the subsequent
check via pagemap determining that the memory was not actually swapped
out.  Logs similar to this were emitted:

   ...

   # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (16 kB)
   ok 2 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?
   # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with single PTE of swapped-out THP (16 kB)
   ok 3 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?
   # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (32 kB)
   ok 4 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?

   ...

The commit in question introduces the behaviour of scanning THPs and if
their content is predominantly zero, it splits them and replaces the pages
which are wholly zero with the zero page.  These cow test cases were
getting caught up in this.

So let's avoid that by filling the contents of all allocated memory with
a non-zero value. With this in place, the tests are passing again.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
