The bulk of these changes modify the cow and gup_longterm tests to
report unique and stable names for each test, bringing them into line
with the expectations of tooling that works with kselftest. The string
reported as a test result is used by tooling to both deduplicate tests
and track tests between test runs, using the same string for multiple
tests or changing the string depending on test result causes problems
for user interfaces and automation such as bisection.
It was suggested that converting to use kselftest_harness.h would be a
good way of addressing this, however that really wants the set of tests
to run to be known at compile time but both test programs dynamically
enumarate the set of huge page sizes the system supports and test each.
Refactoring to handle this would be even more invasive than these
changes which are large but straightforward and repetitive.
A version of the main gup_longterm cleanup was previously sent
separately, this version factors out the helpers for logging the start
of the test since the cow test looks very similar.
