I think this is a sensible change, though note that something simpler was proposed recently:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200610165441.iktvzuwz44sbytfg@chatter.i7.local/

and the review suggested using a name that is even more meaningful to the test case (so we not just remove the unwanted names, but make the test easier to follow).
