I don't believe that kunit_kfree is necessary here, because
kunit_kmalloc is like kmalloc, but the allocation is test managed, which
means that the allocation is managed by the test case and is
automatically cleaned up after the test case concludes.

So, the original version seems correct: if the allocation fails,
alloc_string_stream_fragment will return NULL and string_stream_vadd
will check if frag_container is different than NULL.
