Ah, I think that should not be necessary anymore.
We added this to some tests to mitigate against compilers that didn't
optimize away stack-local structs used internally in KUNIT_EXPECT*.
Functions with ~30 or so EXPECTs could get flagged for excessively
large stack frames.

But in 5.18, I had some patches to reduce the naive stack usage from
[48..88] => [8..32] bytes per EXPECT.
I also have some RFC patches out to get it down to [0, 24] bytes.

So going forward, this should only be necessary if you have something
like 100s of EXPECTs in a single function (in which case you should
also consider splitting that function up).
