crc_t10dif_update() goes through the crypto API, so for now you should be able
to just use the crypto self-tests instead, i.e. boot a kernel with
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y.

I am planning to fix the crct10dif library to be optimized directly (without
going through the crypto API), like what I am doing for crc32.  At that point a
crct10dif library test will be needed, and I'll add one then.

There are also several issues with the existing crc32 test which you're copying,
and which I'd like to address when adding a new test.  For example, the test
does not cover short lengths, and it runs the tests with IRQs disabled which
makes optimized code not used on many architectures.
