Given that these are all for KUnit tests, is it possible there are going
to be other CONFIGs that will interact poorly (e.g. KASAN)? Maybe there
needs to be a small level of indirection with something like:

DISABLE_UNDER_KUNIT := $(DISABLE_STRUCTLEAK_PLUGIN)
export DISABLE_UNDER_KUNIT

then all of these become:

+CFLAGS_iio-test-format.o += $(DISABLE_UNDER_KUNIT)

Either way, I think these are fine to add.
