Or my suggestion below, or come up with some generic option that could
always be there and would in turn select hardening things.  There's
probably a case for having something given that the hardening features
will tend to catch some kinds of test error but that feels more config
fragment like.  Another idea would be to teach KUnit about the idea that
it should try turning on some config options but not worry if they're
not selected.

The config for the test does, but KPKEYS_HARDENED_PGTABLES which the
test depends on does not so unless the underlying defconfig turns that
on the test won't be enabled.  I was suggesting also adding a default
for testing.
