Commit 66bce7afbaca ("selftests/mm: fix test result reporting in gup_longterm") introduced a small bug causing unknown filesystems to always result in a test failure.
This is because do_test() was updated to use a common reporting path, but this case appears to have been missed.
This is problematic for e.g. virtme-ng which uses an overlayfs file system, causing gup_longterm to appear to fail each time due to a test count mismatch:
# Planned tests != run tests (50 != 46) # Totals: pass:24 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:22 error:0
The fix is to simply change the return into a break.

Yeh I did wonder if we'd want that, and I think you confirmed Mark that people do potentially run tests on stable kernels? Or I can't remember :)
Anyway if so then sure. I think this should be an easy automagic-backport anyway!
Cheers, Lorenzo
