[RFC RESEND v2 01/13] mm/kfence: Add a new kunit test test_use_after_free_read_nofault()

From: Nirjhar Roy <nirjhar at linux.ibm.com>

Faults from copy_from_kernel_nofault() needs to be handled by fixup
table and should not be handled by kfence. Otherwise while reading
/proc/kcore which uses copy_from_kernel_nofault(), kfence can generate
false negatives. This can happen when /proc/kcore ends up reading an
unmapped address from kfence pool.

Let's add a testcase to cover this case.
