This uses GFP_KERNEL.

And this can sleep.

Should probably add a note that we assume the test lock is held here, or
even add a lockdep_assert_held(&test->lock) into the function to
document that and assert it at the same time.

This calls that sleeping function above...

but this passes a GFP flags parameter through to the
kunit_kmalloc_init() function. How is this going to work if some code
uses GFP_ATOMIC, but then we try to allocate and sleep in
kunit_alloc_resource() with GFP_KERNEL? 

One solution would be to piggyback on all the existing devres allocation
logic we already have and make each struct kunit a device that we pass
into the devres functions. A far simpler solution would be to just
copy/paste what devres does and use a spinlock and an allocation
function that takes GFP flags.
