[PATCH 5.8 188/464] selftests/lkdtm: Reset WARN_ONCE to avoid false negatives

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 17 2020 - 15:33:47 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4fccc8c0ff740e62343b6de38426a48b345b95f4 ]

Since we expect to see warnings every time for many tests, just reset
the WARN_ONCE flags each time the script runs.
