[PATCH v3 1/4] kunit: Always run cleanup from a test kthread

[David Gow]

KUnit tests run in a kthread, with the current->kunit_test pointer set
to the test's context. This allows the kunit_get_current_test() and
kunit_fail_current_test() macros to work. Normally, this pointer is
still valid during test shutdown (i.e., the suite->exit function, and
any resource cleanup). However, if the test has exited early (e.g., due
to a failed assertion), the cleanup is done in the parent KUnit thread,
which does not have an active context.

Instead, in the event test terminates early, run the test exit and
cleanup from a new 'cleanup' kthread, which sets current->kunit_test,
and better isolates the rest of KUnit from issues which arise in test
cleanup.

If a test cleanup function itself aborts (e.g., due to an assertion
failing), there will be no further attempts to clean up: an error will
be logged and the test failed. For example:
	 # example_simple_test: test aborted during cleanup. continuing without cleaning up

This should also make it easier to get access to the KUnit context,
particularly from within resource cleanup functions, which may, for
example, need access to data in test->priv.

This is an updated version of / replacement of "kunit: Set the current
KUnit context when cleaning up", which instead creates a new kthread
for cleanup tasks if the original test kthread is aborted. This protects
us from failed assertions during cleanup, if the test exited early.

Changes since v2:

- Always run cleanup in its own kthread
  - Therefore, never attempt to re-run it if it exits
  - Thanks, Benjamin.

- Move cleanup execution to another kthread
  - (Thanks, Benjamin, for pointing out the assertion issues)
