Add two helpers to register/unregister to an uffd. Use them to drop
duplicate codes.
This patch also drops assert_expected_ioctls_present() and
get_expected_ioctls(). Reasons:
- It'll need a lot of effort to pass test_type==HUGETLB into it from
the upper, so it's the simplest way to get rid of another global var
- The ioctls returned in UFFDIO_REGISTER is hardly useful at all,
because any app can already detect kernel support on any ioctl via its
corresponding UFFD_FEATURE_*. The check here is for sanity mostly but
it's probably destined no user app will even use it.
- It's not friendly to one future goal of uffd to run on old
kernels, the problem is get_expected_ioctls() compiles against
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS, which is a value that can change depending on
where the test is compiled, rather than reflecting what the kernel
underneath has. It means it'll report false negatives on old kernels
so it's against our will.
So let's make our lives easier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
