The description here is correct, but the subject line is a bit misleading.

Please use something like this instead "drm/ttm/tests: incorrect assert in ttm_bo_unreserve_bulk()".

That irrelevant, an allocation failure will result in a NULL pointer deref anyway. This is just an unit test.

Please drop those tags. This is just an unit test, not relevant for stability and therefore shouldn't be backported.
