The || should go on the line above and the two (target_hpt... should be 
aligned, and the () after the < are superflous.

And indeed, we should (in another patch) rename 'target_hpt_shift' with 
a shorter name, this would avoid multiple lines.

Ref 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#naming :

LOCAL variable names should be short, and to the point. If you have some 
random integer loop counter, it should probably be called i. Calling it 
loop_counter is non-productive, if there is no chance of it being 
mis-understood. Similarly, tmp can be just about any type of variable 
that is used to hold a temporary value.

If you are afraid to mix up your local variable names, you have another 
problem, which is called the function-growth-hormone-imbalance syndrome. 
See chapter 6 (Functions).
