tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: add proc_do_large_bitmap() test case
The kernel has only two users of proc_do_large_bitmap(), the kernel CPU watchdog, and the ip_local_reserved_ports. Refer to watchdog_cpumask and ip_local_reserved_ports in Documentation for further details on these. When you input a large buffer into these, when it is larger than PAGE_SIZE- 1, the input data gets misparsed, and the user get incorrectly informed that the desired input value was set. This commit implements a test which mimics and exploits that use case, it uses a bitmap size, as in the watchdog case. The bitmap is used to test the bitmap proc handler, proc_do_large_bitmap(). The next commit fixes this issue.
