Less intrusive, yes, but I think I actually like the ifdef here; it
makes it clear from the source that the test is only a part of the build
when configured to do so. Nevertheless, I will change it if anyone feels
strongly about it.

Yep, just verified, first I ran the tests and everything passed. Then I
applied the following diff:

diff --git a/security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c b/security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c
index 533137f45361c..e1b0670dbdc27 100644
--- a/security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c
+++ b/security/apparmor/policy_unpack_test.c
@@ -161,7 +161,7 @@ static void policy_unpack_test_unpack_array_with_name(struct kunit *test)

array_size = unpack_array(puf->e, name);

- KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, array_size, (u16)TEST_ARRAY_SIZE);
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, array_size + 1, (u16)TEST_ARRAY_SIZE);
KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ(test, puf->e->pos,
puf->e->start + TEST_ARRAY_BUF_OFFSET + sizeof(u16) + 1);
}

and reran the tests (to trigger an incremental build) and the test
failed as expected indicating that the dependency is properly tracked.

Cheers!
