I think I changed it too mechanically ignoring the meanings.
Your comment made me think about it a bit more. If we don't
really need the error message to be printed every calling,
how about remove it and modify the condition statements like
below. It would make more efficient or small codes
when 'CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST' is not set.

static int cxl_region_invalidate_memregion(struct cxl_region *cxlr)
{
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST)
                        && cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion()) {
                dev_warn_once(&cxlr->dev,
                        "Bypassing cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() for testing!\n");
                return 0;
        }

        return cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion(IORES_DESC_CXL);
}
