lib/test_bpf: Call page_address() on page acquired with GFP_KERNEL flag
generate_test_data() acquires a page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL).
The GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations. The
caller requires ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access.
Therefore the page cannot come from ZONE_HIGHMEM. Thus there's no
need to map it with kmap().
Also, the kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() [1].
Hence, use a plain page_address() directly.
Since the page passed to the page_address() is not from the highmem
zone, the page_address() function will always return a valid kernel
virtual address and will not return NULL. Hence, remove the check
'if (!ptr)'.
Remove the unused variable 'ptr' and label 'err_free_page'.
