Subject: usercopy: Adjust tests to deal with SMAP/PAN

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit f5f893c57e37ca730808cb2eee3820abd05e7507 upstream.

Under SMAP/PAN/etc, we cannot write directly to userspace memory, so
this rearranges the test bytes to get written through copy_to_user().
Additionally drops the bad copy_from_user() test that would trigger a
memcpy() against userspace on failure.

[arnd: the test module was added in 3.14, and this backported patch
       should apply cleanly on all version from 3.14 to 4.10.
       The original patch was in 4.11 on top of a context change
       I saw the bug triggered with kselftest on a 4.4.y stable kernel]
