Let's perhaps drop here what isn't a (mostly) direct dependency and make
it slimmer? Others are requirements of those anyway (and if they stop
being so, they aren't required for the test either).

CONFIG_KUNIT=y
CONFIG_UPROBES=y
CONFIG_RV=y
CONFIG_RV_MON_TLOB=y
CONFIG_TLOB_KUNIT_TEST=y

That's a nit, but probably all the VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT /
EXPORT_SYMBOL_IF_KUNIT should be added by this patch alone.

And definitely tlob_create_or_delete_uprobe shouldn't have it in the
earlier patch just for it to be removed here.

Any reason not to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TLOB_KUNIT_TEST) ?

Same here, those can all be exported in this patch, no need to mention
any KUNIT stuff earlier.

Besides the minor nits above, tests look good.

Thanks,
