usercopy: Avoid soft lockups in test_check_nonzero_user() 

On a machine with a 64K PAGE_SIZE, the nested for loops in
test_check_nonzero_user() can lead to soft lockups, eg:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#4 stuck for 22s! [modprobe:611]

Even with a 4K PAGE_SIZE the test takes multiple seconds. Instead
tweak it to only scan a 1024 byte region, but make it cross the
page boundary.
