Meson is detecting the path /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages in the call to cat
in app/test/meson.build and then adding it as a build dependency.
This causes build loop if the timestamp of this file keeps changing.
It is fixed by hiding hugepage check in a shell script.
Fixes: 77784ef0fba8 ("test: allow no-huge mode for fast-tests")
