If kunit_filter_suites() fails in kunit_module_init(), suite_set is
initialized to {0, 0}. Hence, kunit_exec_run_tests() will not execute
the test suites since num_suites = suite_set->end - suite_set->start
equals 0.

If kunit_filter_suites() has previously failed in kunit_module_init(),then
kunit_module_exit() will return before calling __kunit_test_suites_exit()
since suite_set.start has previously been set to 0.
