[PATCH 5/5] fs-tests: integck: fix falures with SIGBUS

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy at nokia.com>

The test sometimes dies due to SIGBUS because a power cut event happens when
we are writing to an mmap()'ed area. SIGBUS is very difficult to ignore, so
fix the issue simply by avoiding doing 'mmap()' operations when in power cut
testing mode.
