Again, I know these are just selftests, but I'm seeing a real lack of
attention to detail with these. Please at least go to the trouble of
writing actual changelogs with full sentences and actual capitalization.
I think it's the least you can do if I'm going to spend time reviewing
these.
I'll go one better. Can you just use this as a changelog?
pkey_disable_clear() does not work. Instead of clearing bits,
it sets them, probably because it originated as a copy-and-paste
of pkey_disable_set().
This has been dead code up to now because the only callers are
pkey_access/write_allow() and _those_ are currently unused.

If you add a better changelog:

This really is an orthogonal change that would have been better placed
with the other patch that did the exact same thing. But I'd be OK with
it here, as long as it has an actual comment.
