From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd/selftests: remove the time() check on delayed uffd There seems to have no guarantee that time() will return the same for the two calls even if there's no delay, e.g. when a fault is accidentally crossing the changing of a second. Meanwhile, this message is also not helping that much since delay could happen with a lot of reasons, e.g., schedule latency of resolving thread. It may not mean an issue with uffd. Neither do I saw this error triggered either in the past runs. Even if it triggers, it'll be drown in all the rest of test logs. Remove it.
