So do we want to try and pick a different name from
kunit_fail_assertion() to avoid confusion with the macro?
That's partly why I went with past tense.
Perhaps: "kunit_do_assertion() => kunit_do_failed_assertion()" instead?

Tangent: we have some similar confusing names, e.g. KUNIT_ASSERTION is
both the name of a macro and an enum (kunit_assert_type), and those
have the exact same case.
