We have this infrastructure already set in the run_vmtest.sh.
The "hugetlb_fault_after_madv" selftest needs the same configuration,
so, once the fix is ready, we will just add something as:

--- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh
+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh
@@ -227,6 +227,7 @@ nr_hugepages_tmp=$(cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages)
# For this test, we need one and just one huge page
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
CATEGORY="hugetlb" run_test ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
+CATEGORY="hugetlb" run_test ./hugetlb_madv_vs_map
# Restore the previous number of huge pages, since further tests rely on it
echo "$nr_hugepages_tmp" > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
