Change KUnit test output to better comply with KTAP v1 specifications
found here: https://kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/ktap.html.
1) Use "KTAP version 1" instead of "TAP version 14" as test output header
2) Remove '-' between test number and test name on test result lines
2) Add KTAP version lines to each subtest header as well

Note that the new KUnit output still includes the “# Subtest” line now
located after the KTAP version line. This does not completely match the
KTAP v1 spec but since it is classified as a diagnostic line, it is not
expected to be disruptive or break any existing parsers. This
“# Subtest” line comes from the TAP 14 spec
(https://testanything.org/tap-version-14-specification.html) and it is
used to define the test name before the results.

Original output:

 TAP version 14
 1..1
   # Subtest: kunit-test-suite
   1..3
   ok 1 - kunit_test_1
   ok 2 - kunit_test_2
   ok 3 - kunit_test_3
 # kunit-test-suite: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
 # Totals: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
 ok 1 - kunit-test-suite

New output:

 KTAP version 1
 1..1
   KTAP version 1
   # Subtest: kunit-test-suite
   1..3
   ok 1 kunit_test_1
   ok 2 kunit_test_2

<title>kunit: Provide a static key to check if KUnit is actively running tests</title>

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.

Each calll to a KUNIT_EXPECT_*() macro creates a local variable which
contains a struct kunit_assert.

Normally, we'd hope the compiler would be able to optimize this away,
but we've seen cases where it hasn't, see
https://groups.google.com/g/kunit-dev/c/i3fZXgvBrfA/m/GbrMNej2BAAJ.

In changes like commit 21957f90b28f ("kunit: split out part of
kunit_assert into a static const"), we've moved more and more parts out
of struct kunit_assert and its children types (kunit_binary_assert).

This patch removes the final field and gets us to:
  sizeof(struct kunit_assert) == 0
  sizeof(struct kunit_binary_assert) == 24 (on UML x86_64).

This also reduces the amount of macro plumbing going on at the cost of
passing in one more arg to the base KUNIT_ASSERTION macro and
kunit_do_failed_assertion().

<title>kunit: make kunit_kfree(NULL) a no-op to match kfree()</title>

The real kfree() function will silently return when given a NULL.
So a user might reasonably think they can write the following code:
  char *buffer = NULL;
  if (param-&gt;use_buffer) buffer = kunit_kzalloc(test, 10, GFP_KERNEL);
  ...
  kunit_kfree(test, buffer);

As-is, kunit_kfree() will mark the test as FAILED when buffer is NULL.
(And in earlier times, it would segfault).

Let's match the semantics of kfree().

<title>kunit: make kunit_kfree() not segfault on invalid inputs</title>

kunit_kfree() can only work on data ("resources") allocated by KUnit.

Currently for code like this,
&gt; void *ptr = kmalloc(4, GFP_KERNEL);
&gt; kunit_kfree(test, ptr);
kunit_kfree() will segfault.

It'll try and look up the kunit_resource associated with `ptr` and get a
NULL back, but it won't check for this. This means we also segfault if
you double-free.

Change kunit_kfree() so it'll notice these invalid pointers and respond
by failing the test.

Implementation: kunit_destroy_resource() does what kunit_kfree() does,
but is more generic and returns -ENOENT when it can't find the resource.
Sadly, unlike just letting it crash, this means we don't get a stack
trace. But kunit_kfree() is so infrequently used it shouldn't be hard to
track down the bad callsite anyways.

After this change, the above code gives:
&gt; # example_simple_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/kunit/test.c:702
&gt; kunit_kfree: 00000000626ec200 already freed or not allocated by kunit

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-&gt;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.

Currently, KUnit's string streams are themselves "KUnit resources".
This is redundant since the stream itself is already allocated with
kunit_kzalloc() and will thus be freed automatically at the end of the
test.

string-stream is only used internally within KUnit, and isn't using the
extra features that resources provide like reference counting, being
able to locate them dynamically as "test-local variables", etc.

Indeed, the resource's refcount is never incremented when the
pointer is returned. The fact that it's always manually destroyed is
more evidence that the reference counting is unused.
