The root cause is that Oracle CI runs Linux-5.4.17-UEK where the value of MADV_POPULATE_WRITE (23) is used as MADV_DONTEXEC which is not supported by upstream. This PR solves the testcase failure by checking versions of kernels first, and checking the availability of MADV_POPULATE_WRITE when they are not older than 5.14.

Just stating this here, I don't like the fact that this patch punishes all Distros for a problem that only exists in UEK kernel. This is not a problem with the mainline kernel.
