Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation

To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in 8404663f81d212918ff85f493649a7991209fa04 ("ARM:
7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS")
ever regresses again, for any architecture.
