I would add a comment here explaining why this condition is checked and
what it means. Maybe something like the following ?

+       /*
+        * Check if the kunit test suite start address is a virtual
+        * address or a direct mapping address. This is used as an
+        * indication of whether the kunit_filter_suites() was used
+        * to filter the kunit test suite or not.
+        *
+        * If is not a virtual address, then this means that the
+        * kunit_module_init() function was not called and the kunit
+        * suite was not filtered. Let's just bail out in that case.
+        */
+       if (!suite_set.start || !virt_addr_valid(suite_set.start))
+               return;

The patch makes sense to me though and agree that is a better approach.
