[Devel] [PATCH vz10 5/6] ms/selftests/mm: fix -Warray-bounds warnings in pkey_sighandler_tests

From: Kevin Brodsky <kevin.brodsky at arm.com>

GCC doesn't like dereferencing a pointer set to 0x1 (when building
at -O2):

pkey_sighandler_tests.c:166:9: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'int[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  166 |         *(int *) (0x1) = 1;
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: note: source object is likely at address zero

Using NULL instead seems to make it happy.  This should make no difference
in practice (SIGSEGV with SEGV_MAPERR will be the outcome regardless), we
just need to update the expected si_addr.

(cherry picked from commit 71384f84cbbe7660023b01c1a0fa9cc7dbc487a7)
Conflict in pkey_sighandler_tests.c: removed unused `int *bad` variable
declaration — our branch already uses hardcoded pkey_reg values instead
of pkey_reg_restrictive_default(), so neither `int *bad` nor `u64 pkey_reg`
are needed.
