A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in genwqe_user_vmap()
  Fix a typo in two comments

The script “checkpatch.pl” pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written …

Thus fix the affected source code places.

Are there different printouts which cover this? I mean the debug 
printout is not
appearing all the time, it must be enabled, if I remember correctly. So 
why do
you suggest to remove it?

I personally like the explicit compare (ptr != NULL) more than the !ptr 
notation.
When was the checkpatch.pl script modified to suggest the latter 
notation?
Is there any advantage other than the shorter notation?

I personally like the explicit compare (ptr != NULL) more than the !ptr 
notation.
When was the checkpatch.pl script modified to suggest the latter 
notation?
Is there any advantage other than the shorter notation?

The kmalloc() error messages are enabled by default.  See warn_alloc().
The stack trace from this specific call site is going to be very clear
what went wrong.

It's a checkpatch warning and a small memory savings.

Is this error message redundant?

Would you like to clarify corresponding configuration possibilities any more?

Can the Linux allocation failure report be sufficient for this use case already?

According to Dans message in parallel, it should be redundant and I am 
fine with removing it.
