Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] kunit: make kunit_kfree() only work on pointers from
 kunit_malloc() and friends

kunit_kfree() exists to clean up allocations from kunit_kmalloc() and
friends early instead of waiting for this to happen automatically at the
end of the test.

But it can be used on *anything* registered with the kunit resource API.

E.g. the last 2 statements are equivalent:
  struct kunit_resource *res = something();
  kfree(res->data);
  kunit_put_resource(res);

The problem is that there could be multiple resources that point to the
same `data`.

E.g. you can have a named resource acting as a pseudo-global variable in
a test. If you point it to data allocated with kunit_kmalloc(), then
calling `kunit_kfree(ptr)` has the chance to delete either the named
resource or to kfree `ptr`.
Which one it does depends on the order the resources are registered as
kunit_kfree() will delete resources in LIFO order.

So this patch restricts kunit_kfree() to only working on resources
created by kunit_kmalloc(). Calling it is therefore guaranteed to free
the memory, not do anything else.

Note: kunit_resource_instance_match() wasn't used outside of KUnit, so
it should be safe to remove from the public interface. It's also
generally dangerous, as shown above, and shouldn't be used.
