As per feedback in v1[*], spell out "pattern".

memset(), memcpy(), and memcmp() are safe to use as of commit 6b6f71484bf4 ("KVM:
selftests: Implement memcmp(), memcpy(), and memset() for guest use").

Note the "fun" with gcc "optimizing" into infinite recursion... :-)

Again, avoid "pat".

This is all amazingly hard to read.  AFAICT, the local variables are largely useless.
Actually, why even take in @test_area_base, isn't it hardcoded to TEST_AREA_GPA?
Then everything except the pattern can be hardcoded.
