From: José Expósito jose.exposito89@gmail.com
In some cases, we need to call test-only code from outside the test case, for example, to mock a function or a module.
In order to check whether we are in a test or not, we need to test if `CONFIG_KUNIT` is set. Unfortunately, we cannot rely only on this condition because: - a test could be running in another thread, - some distros compile KUnit in production kernels, so checking at runtime that `current->kunit_test != NULL` is required.
Forturately, KUnit provides an optimised check in `kunit_get_current_test()`, which checks CONFIG_KUNIT, a global static key, and then the current thread's running KUnit test.
Add a safe wrapper function around this to know whether or not we are in a KUnit test and examples showing how to mock a function and a module.

(Thanks Boqun)
Changes since v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20241030045719.3085147-8-davidgow@go... - The example test has been updated to no longer use assert_eq!() with a constant bool argument (fixes a clippy warning).

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230720-rustbind-v1-3-c80db349e3b5@google.com/ - Rebased on top of rust-next. - Use the `kunit_get_current_test()` C function, which wasn't previously available, instead of rolling our own. - (Thanks also to Boqun for suggesting a nicer way of implementing this, which I tried, but the `kunit_get_current_test()` version obsoleted.)
