Shuah Khan 3c25fa14f0 selftests/user: move test out of Makefile into a shell script
Currently user copy test is run from the Makefile. Move it out
of the Makefile to be run from a shell script to allow the test
to be run as stand-alone test, in addition to allowing the test
run from a make target.

Kees Cook 3e2a4c183a test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation
To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.

Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.
