This is nice! Easy way to test the results. It might be helpful to show
here what to expect when loading this module:

with either init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1, I happily see:

	test_meminit: all 10 tests in test_pages passed
	test_meminit: all 40 tests in test_kvmalloc passed
	test_meminit: all 20 tests in test_kmemcache passed
	test_meminit: all 70 tests passed!

and without:

	test_meminit: test_pages failed 10 out of 10 times
	test_meminit: test_kvmalloc failed 40 out of 40 times
	test_meminit: test_kmemcache failed 10 out of 20 times
	test_meminit: failures: 60 out of 70

I get a warning at build about missing the license:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in lib/test_meminit.o

So, following the SPDX line, just add:

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
