It's a valid question, yes.

The problem is that only main.c can use kselftest macros because
kselftest_harness.h pulls 

static int test_harness_run(int __attribute__((unused)) argc,
			    char __attribute__((unused)) **argv)

which will not end up having a call site (because there's no
"TEST_HARNESS_MAIN").

The whole logging thing in kselftest harness is a bit ambiguous.
Namely:

1. There's a macro TH_LOG() defined in kselftest_harness.h, which
   "internally" uses fprintf().
2. There's an inline function ksft_print_msg() in kselftest.h
   using vsprintf().

To add to that, kselftest_harness.h internally prints by using
ksft_print_msg(), and provides TH_LOG(), which does not use
ksft_print_msg().

I don't really get the logic in all this.
