This is the purpose of CFG_MEMTEST_SCRATCH.

Please, please read the README, which says:
"- CFG_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
   Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
   You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable"

The last statement implies that you DO need to set
CFG_MEMTEST_SCRATCH if address zero ISN'T writeable.

No need to change any code at all.

Cheers
 Anders
