From: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@samsung.com>

create_pagecache_thp_and_fd() in split_huge_page_test.c used the
variable dummy to perform mmap read.

However, this test was skipped even on XFS which has large folio
support. The issue was compiler (gcc 13.2.0) was optimizing out the
dummy variable, therefore, not creating huge page in the page cache.

Add volatile keyword to force compiler not to optimize out the loop
where we read from the mmaped addr.
