The discussion around kunit_cleanup() caught my eye below, so one
small comment about that.

Note: this cleans up *all* resources associated with `test`.
Right now, it's probably fine, but this probably isn't the safest approach.

Notably, two of the new/upcoming API changes rely on resource,
kunit/static_stub.h and kunit_add_action() [1].
Calling kunit_cleanup() undoes all the stubs and immediately triggers
all the actions.

Perhaps you can create your own local `struct kunit` like in [2]
E.g.

struct kunit subtest; // not sure what to call this...

kunit_init_test(&subtest, "fake test", NULL);
/* use subtest */
kunit_cleanup(&subtest);

There's also already-submitted code doing similar things in
lib/kunit/kunit-test.c you can look at, but it's in init/exit funcs.
See kunit_resource_test_init() and kunit_resource_test_exit().
