Even if the kernel codying style is not very strictly enforced for
self-tests, please avoid c++ style comments.

More importantly, as Willem noded, this function is always called with
do_poll == true. You should drop such argument and the related branch
above.

Please avoid introducing unnecessary white-space changes (no reason to
move the usage text on a new line)
