Subject: [PATCH 5.1 031/121] lkdtm/usercopy: Moves the KERNEL_DS test to non-canonical

[ Upstream commit 2bf8496f6e9b7e9a557f65eb95eab16fea7958c7 ]

The prior implementation of the KERNEL_DS fault checking would work on
any unmapped kernel address, but this was narrowed to the non-canonical
range instead. This adjusts the LKDTM test to match.

Fixes: 00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for non-canonical user access address dereferences")
