Small nit. The arguments here need to be aligned properly.

Please align the second line properly as above or better just move it in a
single line exceeding 80.

This check should be "args->fixed_alignment == PUD_SIZE" because the previous
call into phys_align_check() was with PUD_SIZE size and alignment request. So
it could not have achieved args->fixed_alignment larger than PUD_SIZE ?

Moving this into previous line will fix the alignment problem and also will
help drop these additional redundant braces here. In case these lines are
decided to be folded back, please also follow the same for the conditional
statements in pmd_huge_tests/pud_huge_tests as mentioned earlier.
