Pull usercopy test fixlets from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains two improvements for the copy_struct_from_user() tests:

   - a coding style change to get rid of the ugly "if ((ret |= test()))"
     pointed out when pulling the original patchset.

   - avoid a soft lockups when running the usercopy tests on machines
     with large page sizes by scanning only a 1024 byte region"
