The idea was trying to flip this var in the alarm handler from time to time to test -EEXIST of UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE, but firstly it's only used in the zeropage test so probably only used once, meanwhile we passed "retry==false" so it'll never got tested anyway. Drop both sides so we always test UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE retries if has_zeropage is set (!hugetlb). One more thing to do is doing UFFDIO_REGISTER for the alias buffer too, because otherwise the test won't even pass! We were just lucky that this test never really got ran at all.

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.
