Avoid "this commit" and "this patch", simply state what the patch does as a
command, e.g. "Add test cases for ...".

Omit the "Testing", KVM's behavior isn't specific to "testing", any unsupported
action should fail.

	/* Unsupported actions should be rejected by KVM. */

Though honestly, I would forego the comments entirely, the macro name plus the
assert make it quite clear what's being tested.

Drop this part of the comment, it will become stale if PMU_EVENT_FILTER_INVALID_ACTION
is modified, and readers can look at the definition of PMU_EVENT_FILTER_INVALID_ACTION
if they really care about the actual value.

Ignore the bad precedent set by this test, the preferred way to check for 0 and
!0 is TEST_ASSERT(r, ...) and TEST_ASSERT(!r, ...);

And no punctuation in the assert, i.e. drop the period.

Same here.

And here.

To avoid splitting lines,

	TEST_ASSERT(r, "Exceeding the max number of filter events should fail");

And here.

Something like so to avoid multiple lines.

	TEST_ASSERT(!r, "Masking non-existent fixed counters should be allowed");
