[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] selftests/ve: check memory.numa_migrate keeps the folio order

[Pavel Tikhomirov]

> memcg_numa_migrate_new_folio() used to allocate a PMD-sized destination

This case looks a bit implicit, we rely on the size of huge pages XFS
allocates, maybe we can add folio size check, or somehow force
allocation of proper order. This is not blocking I guess.
