PATCH v2 2/3 pkey: add test for memory protection keys

Memory Protection Keys for Userspace (PKU aka PKEYs) is a Skylake-SP server feature that provides a mechanism for enforcing page-based protections, but without requiring modification of the page tables when an application changes protection domains. It works by dedicating 4 previously ignored bits in each page table entry to a "protection key", giving 16 possible keys.

Test for Memory Protection Keys:
1. test allocates a pkey(e.g. PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS) via pkey_alloc()
2. pkey_mprotect() apply this pkey to a piece of shared memory(buffer)
3. check if the access right of buffer has been changed and take effect
4. remove the access right(pkey) from this buffer via pkey_mprotect()
5. check if buffer area can be read or write after removing pkey
6. pkey_free() releases the pkey after using it
