Hi Mika,
This looks like a very nice cleanup and simplification, delighted to see
it!
In fact, I like it so much that I've got a bunch of fussy nitpicks I'm
hoping you'll consider applying, below. :)
Also, I'm assuming you've tested it a little bit? (My test rig is boxed
up for another day or two, don't ask...haha.)

How about this for the subject line and body? I've made the subject line
match what other commits look like in this area, and I've clarified the
wording in the body:
mm/hmm/test: simplify hmm test code: use miscdevice instead of char dev
HMM selftests use an in-kernel pseudo device to emulate device private
memory. The pseudo device registers a major device range for two pseudo
device instances. User space has a script that reads /proc/devices in
order to find the assigned major number, and sends that to mknod(1),
once for each node.
This duplicates a fair amount of boilerplate that misc device can do
instead.
Change this to use misc device, which makes the device node names appear
for us. This also enables udev-like processing if desired.
Delete the /proc/devices parsing from the user-space test script, now
that it is unnecessary.

Let's delete that whole chunk, because the variable is unnecessary, and
is adding to the line count and mental load for no reason.
Look how much cleaner this it gets after applying this incremental diff
on top of your patch:
