Recent change in how get_user() handles pointers [1] has a specific case
for LAM. It assigns a different bitmask that's later used to check
whether a pointer comes from userland in get_user().
While currently commented out (until LASS [2] is merged into the kernel)
it's worth making changes to the LAM selftest ahead of time.
Add test case to LAM that utilizes a ioctl (FIOASYNC) syscall which uses
get_user() in its implementation. Execute the syscall with differently
tagged pointers to verify that valid user pointers are passing through
and invalid kernel/non-canonical pointers are not.
Code was tested on a Sierra Forest Xeon machine that's LAM capable. The
test was ran without issues with both the LAM lines from [1] untouched
and commented out. The test was also ran without issues with LAM_SUP
both enabled and disabled.
4/5 level pagetables code paths were also successfully tested in Simics
on a 5-level capable machine.

Changelog v3:
- mmap the pointer passed to get_user to high address if 5 level paging
is enabled and to low address if 4 level paging is enabled.
Changelog v2:
- Use mmap with HIGH_ADDR to check if we're in 5 or 4 level pagetables.

Hm. Why not use cpu_has_lam() for the paging check?

Mapping sizer of 1 byte looks odd. It is not wrong, but looks strange.
Maybe use PAGE_SIZE instead?

cpu_has_lam() seems to return what the cpuid reports about LAM being available
on the system.
The problem I was trying to solve here was to determine what pagetable level is
used currently so I can setup the bitmask to create fake kernel pointers below.
Can cpu_has_lam() achieve that? I didn't see any correlation between the cpuid
and active paging mode.
