Subject: [PATCH v2] lkdtm: Add tests for LIST_POISON and ZERO_SIZE_PTR

This adds two tests, to check that a read or write to LIST_POISON1 and
ZERO_SIZE_PTR are blocked.

The default values for both (256 and 16) typically fall in the range
of valid user space addresses. However in general mmap_min_addr is 64K,
which prevents user space from mapping anything at those addresses.

However it's feasible that an attacker will be able to find a way to
cause an access at an offset from either value, and if that offset is
greater than 64K then they can access user space again.

To simulate that case, in the test we create a user mapping at
approximately mmap_min_addr, and offset the pointer by that amount. This
gives the test the greatest chance of failing (ie. an access
succeeding). We don't actually use mmap_min_addr, because that would
require exporting it to modules, instead we use the default value at
compile time as a reasonable approximation.

v2: Fix 32-bit compile errors by using int not long.
    Avoid need to export mmap_min_addr by using CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.
