It shoudn't. As of this patch, KVM doesn't register itself as a page-track user,
i.e. KVMGT is the only remaining caller to kvm_page_track_register_notifier().
Unless I messed up, the only way kvm_page_track_has_external_user() can return
true is if KVMGT is attached to the VM. The selftests most definitely don't do
anything with KVMGT, so I don't see how they can fail.
Are you seeing actually failures?
