selftests/mm: size tmpfs according to PMD page size in split_huge_page_test

The split_file_backed_thp() test mounts a tmpfs with a fixed size of "4m".
This works on systems with smaller PMD page sizes, but fails on
configurations where the PMD huge page size is larger (e.g.  16MB).

On such systems, the fixed 4MB tmpfs is insufficient to allocate even a
single PMD-sized THP, causing the test to fail.

Fix this by sizing the tmpfs dynamically based on the runtime
pmd_pagesize, allocating space for two PMD-sized pages.
