selftests: mincore: fix tmpfs mincore test failure
[ Upstream commit 8c583e538aa681ecb293d5606054de70f44b5558 ] When running mincore test cases, I encountered the following failures: " mincore_selftest.c:359:check_tmpfs_mmap:Expected ra_pages (511) == 0 (0) mincore_selftest.c:360:check_tmpfs_mmap:Read-ahead pages found in memory check_tmpfs_mmap: Test terminated by assertion FAIL global.check_tmpfs_mmap not ok 5 global.check_tmpfs_mmap FAILED: 4 / 5 tests passed " The reason for the test case failure is that my system automatically enabled tmpfs large folio allocation by adding the 'transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always' cmdline. However, the test case still expects the tmpfs mounted on /dev/shm to allocate small folios, which leads to assertion failures when verifying readahead pages. As discussed with David, there's no reason to continue checking the readahead logic for tmpfs. Drop it to fix this issue.
