[F][PATCH 0/1] Drop testing message introduced by "net/bpfilter: fix dprintf usage for /dev/kmsg"

Run into this while testing Ubuntu-5.4.0-22.26 from master-next, and my kernel
log got spammed with
> testing the buffer
messages (every few seconds with a burst of ~10 such messages).

This was introduced with the update to Linux 5.4.29, which included
"net/bpfilter: fix dprintf usage for /dev/kmsg"
[ Upstream commit 13d0f7b814d9b4c67e60d8c2820c86ea181e7d99 ]
Introducing a test message by mistake. Dave's net tree applied already a patch
which drops this testing message again[0][1].
While I sent out a mail to request the followup being backported too, and thus
this should come in sooner or later here via the 5.4 updates anyway I decided
to post it directly for applying here too, as the kernel freeze is upcoming
very soon (and the upstream stable release including this could be thus to
late).
