I think it is fine to just rename this kunit_test_suites.

Here and elsewhere: the "ifdef/endif MODULE" should not be necessary.

nit: The "ifdef/endif MODULE" should not be necessary.

Is this actually needed by anything other than lib/kunit/test.c right
now? Maybe we should move the include file into the kunit/ directory to
hide these so no one else can use them.

Why is this block of code "ifndef MODULE"?

This code should also probably be hidden from outside of kunit/.
