Agreed. I will drop.

The only reason why I've done this was to make scripts/checkpatch.pl
happy:

WARNING: line length of 141 exceeds 100 columns
#83: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/net/udpgso_bench_tx.c:432:

I can drop and ignore the warning, or maybe it would have been better to
just mention this in git message. What do you prefer?
