Subject: [PATCH] usercopy: Add parentheses around assignment in test_copy_struct_from_user

Clang warns:

lib/test_user_copy.c:96:10: warning: using the result of an assignment
as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
        if (ret |= test(umem_src == NULL, "kmalloc failed"))
            ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_user_copy.c:96:10: note: place parentheses around the
assignment to silence this warning
        if (ret |= test(umem_src == NULL, "kmalloc failed"))
                ^
            (                                              )
lib/test_user_copy.c:96:10: note: use '!=' to turn this compound
assignment into an inequality comparison
        if (ret |= test(umem_src == NULL, "kmalloc failed"))
                ^~
                !=

Add the parentheses as it suggests because this is intentional.
