What warning does this fix? I'd prefer to have it in the description.

If go_back is out of range then this is a serious error in the test
plans found in the module. Something simple and clear such as
BUG_ON(go_back <= 0 || go_back > ts.idx) is probably sufficient.

The BUG_ON() will mess things up because whatever breakpoints
the test is using are still enabled.
If you really want to recover cleanly then perhaps:
+ if (repeat_test <= 0 || WARN_ON(go_back < 0 || go_back > ts.idx)) {
> ts.idx++;

Not sure about this. If we know the opcodes are bad then re-executing
them doesn't seem like a good idea (hence covering it in the WARN_ON
branch above).
