mainlining shenanigans

While writing the tests for copy_struct_from_user(), I used a construct that Linus doesn't appear to be too fond of: On 2019-10-04, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> wrote: > Hmm.

Make it > use an actual comparison if you add a layer of parentheses. So instead, use a bog-standard check that isn't nearly as ugly. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
