Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test: add minimal module for verification testing

When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
singing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has
no device or similar dependencies. This creates the "test_module.ko"
module for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.
