[PATCH] lib: test_user_copy: style cleanup

While writing the tests for copy_struct_from_user(), I used a construct
that Linus doesn't appear to be too fond of:

So instead, use a bog-standard check that isn't nearly as ugly.

Fixes: 341115822f88 ("usercopy: Add parentheses around assignment in test_copy_struct_from_user")
Fixes: f5a1a536fa14 ("lib: introduce copy_struct_from_user() helper")
