Subject: selftests/mm: drop unnecessary sudo usage
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 13:18:20 +0000
This script must be run as root anyway (see all the writing to privileged
files in /proc etc).
Remove the unnecessary use of sudo to avoid breaking on single-user
systems that don't have sudo. This also avoids confusing readers.
