Subject: userfaultfd/selftests: drop VERIFY check in locking_thread

It tries to check against all zeros and looped for quite a few times. 
However after that we'll verify the same page with count_verify, while
count_verify can never be zero.  So it means if it's a zero page we'll
detect it anyways with below code.

There's yet another place we conditionally check the fault flag - just do
it unconditionally.
