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

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
> 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.

	    Strictly speaking the double underscores are reserved for
	    low level code i.e. libc and related code so we should avoid
	    them.

Maybe it's worth of a comment what is the idea behind this code here.
