kunit: Add "hooks" to call into KUnit when it's built as a module
KUnit has several macros and functions intended for use from non-test code. These hooks, currently the kunit_get_current_test() and kunit_fail_current_test() macros, didn't work when CONFIG_KUNIT=m. In order to support this case, the required functions and static data need to be available unconditionally, even when KUnit itself is not built-in. The new 'hooks.c' file is therefore always included, and has both the static key required for kunit_get_current_test(), and a table of function pointers in struct kunit_hooks_table. This is filled in with the real implementations by kunit_install_hooks(), which is kept in hooks-impl.h and called when the kunit module is loaded. This can be extended for future features which require similar "hook" behaviour, such as static stubs, by simply adding new entries to the struct, and the appropriate code to set them. Fixed white-space errors during commit: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> Resolved merge conflicts with: db105c37a4d6 ("kunit: Export kunit_running()") This patch supersedes the above.
