selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));"

Patch series "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" :
"+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup", v2.

This series introduces a common FORCE_READ() macro to replace the cryptic
asm volatile("" : "+r" (variable)); construct used in several mm
selftests.  This improves code readability and maintainability by removing
duplicated, hard-to-understand code.


This patch (of 2):

Several mm selftests use the `asm volatile("" : "+r" (variable));`
construct to force a read of a variable, preventing the compiler from
optimizing away the memory access.  This idiom is cryptic and duplicated
across multiple test files.

Following a suggestion from David[1], this patch refactors this common
pattern into a FORCE_READ() macro
