  1. Skip hugetlb tests if the system has no huge page sizes available (e.g. no /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages in a build environment). Without this, TestHugetlbStats{NoUsageFile,NoMaxUsageFile,BadUsageFile,BadMaxUsageFile} fail, since GetStats is a no-op in this case, and the rest are passing vacuously.

    Fixes hugetlb_test fails on [ppc64el, s390x] runc#1822.

  2. Fix file names in hugetlb failure tests. Some tests used the file name template (like hugetlb.%s.max_usage_in_bytes) as is, so e.g. TestHugetlbStatsBadMaxUsageFile failed because the usage file was not found, rather than because max usage can't be parsed.

When the system has no huge page sizes available (e.g.
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages is absent in a build environment),
cgroups.HugePageSizes returns an empty list, and HugetlbGroup's
Set and GetStats are no-ops. As a result, the tests which expect
GetStats to fail are failing, and the rest are passing vacuously.

Skip all hugetlb tests in such case.

Reported in opencontainers/runc#1822.

Some hugetlb tests use file name templates such as
"hugetlb.%s.max_usage_in_bytes" as is, without substituting
the page size.

As a result, TestHugetlbStatsBadMaxUsageFile fails because
the usage file is not found, rather than because the max usage
file contents can't be parsed, and so it does not test what it is
supposed to test.

Fix this (and similar issues in other tests) by using proper
file names for every available huge page size.
