Why not just use GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL and remove the check?

kzalloc() can't return error pointers.  If this were an IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
check then it would generate a static checker warning, but static
checkers don't know about KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL() yet so you're
safe.

But generally NULL is a special case of success.  A common situation is
where the user deliberately disables a feature, that means it's not an
error but we also don't have a valid pointer to return because it's
disabled.
