Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] selftests/mm: protection_keys: Fix dead code

The while loop doesn't execute and following warning gets generated:

protection_keys.c:561:15: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
                int rpkey = alloc_random_pkey();

Let's enable the while loop such that it gets executed nr_iterations
times. Simplify the code a bit as well.
