Subject: [PATCH 5.1 36/62] selftests: txring_overwrite: fix incorrect test of mmap() return value

From: Frank de Brabander <debrabander@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit cecaa76b2919aac2aa584ce476e9fcd5b084add5 ]

If mmap() fails it returns MAP_FAILED, which is defined as ((void *) -1).
The current if-statement incorrectly tests if *ring is NULL.
