CONFIG_KUNIT_TEST is to test KUnit itself.  Why does this messes up your
test system, and what is your test system?  Is it related to the kernel
warning and then the message you previously sent?
https://lore.kernel.org/r/fd604ae0-5630-4745-acf2-1e51c69cf0c0@roeck-us.net
It seems David has a solution to suppress such warning.
