selftests/x86/lam: Add inherit test cases for linear-address masking
LAM is enabled per-thread and gets inherited on fork(2)/clone(2). exec()
reverts LAM status to the default disabled state.
There are two test scenarios:
- Fork test cases:
These cases were used to test the inheritance of LAM for per-thread,
Child process generated by fork() should inherit LAM feature from
parent process, Child process can get the LAM mode same as parent
process.
- Execve test cases:
Processes generated by execve() are different from processes
generated by fork(), these processes revert LAM status to disabled
status.
