[LTP] [PATCH] mlock_8-1, munlock_10-1: don't use LONG_MAX as invalid pointer

arm64 kernel with commit 057d3389108e ("mm: untag user pointers passed to
memory syscalls") will assume this is tagged user pointer and will
attempt to clear first byte. This leads to test hitting different error
(EINVAL instead of ENOMEM).

Add a helper function which provides invalid/unused pointer from user
address space.
