Subject: [PATCH v4] lib/test_bpf: Call page_address() on page acquired with GFP_KERNEL flag

generate_test_data() acquires a page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL).
The GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations.
The caller requires ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access.

Therefore the page cannot come from ZONE_HIGHMEM. Thus there's
no need to map it with kmap().

Also, the kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() [1].

Hence, use a plain page_address() directly.

Since the page passed to the page_address() is not from the highmem
zone, the page_address() function will always return a valid kernel
virtual address and will not return NULL. Hence, remove the check
'if (!ptr)'.

Remove the unused variable 'ptr' and label 'err_free_page'.

I can't see no more things that prevent my tag, then it is...

Thanks for working on it for all the time it took to get to v4 and for
listening to what you've been suggested to change.

Well done :-)
