Whoops, I was supposed to delete that. That's embarrassing... ^_^;

Ah yes, .kunitconfig needs to be created before config_tests() can be
called because the LinuxSourceTree constructor needs .kunitconfig to
exist.

I just did it because we were getting a failure in a constructor so we
couldn't do much. Ideally we would check that the current state allows
for the command that the user intended to run, but I think that's
beyond the scope of this change.

So I guess the real question is: Is it okay for it to crash in the
constructor with a cryptic error message for now, or do we want to let
it fail with a slightly less cryptic message later?
