Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] kunit: Provide a static key to check if KUnit is
 actively running tests

KUnit does a few expensive things when enabled. This hasn't been a
problem because KUnit was only enabled on test kernels, but with a few
people enabling (but not _using_) KUnit on production systems, we need a
runtime way of handling this.

Provide a 'kunit_running' static key (defaulting to false), which allows
us to hide any KUnit code behind a static branch. This should reduce the
performance impact (on other code) of having KUnit enabled to a single
NOP when no tests are running.

Note that, while it looks unintuitive, tests always run entirely within
__kunit_test_suites_init(), so it's safe to decrement the static key at
the end of this function, rather than in __kunit_test_suites_exit(),
which is only there to clean up results in debugfs.

This should be a no-op (other than a possible performance improvement)
functionality-wise, and lays the groundwork for a more optimised static
stub implementation.

The remaining patches in the series add a kunit_get_current_test()
function which is a more friendly and performant wrapper around
current->kunit_test, and use this in the slub test. They also improve
the documentation a bit.

If there are no objections, we'll take the whole series via the KUnit
tree.
