I fear the comment isn't really helpful this way. What's "excessive" here may
be clear from patch context, but it won't be clear when looking at the code
later. Nor would it then be immediately clear why the vm_event_is_enabled()
check is (seemingly) unnecessary. How about this:
"req_ptr being constant NULL when !CONFIG_VM_EVENT, CONFIG_UBSAN=y builds
have been observed to still hit undefined-ness at runtime. Hence do a
seemingly redundant vm_event_is_enabled() check here."
With this or any other suitable improvement to the comment:

If we want to go with the suggestion above, I'd be happy to do the replacement
while committing. But of course first the necessary 2nd ack will want
collecting.
