kunit: Always run cleanup from a test kthread

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.
