That's because ftruncate() call was in test_remote_access() and you need it
to mmap secretmem.

The same message will be printed on success and on failure.

I think

if (transferred < 0 && errno == EFAULT)
pass("vmsplice is blocked as expected");
else
fail("vmsplice: unexpected memory acccess");

is clearer than feeding different strings to ksft_test_result().

Other than that
