6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rae Moar <rmoar@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 434498a6bee3db729dbdb7f131f3506f4dca85e8 ]

Change the KUnit parser to be able to parse test output that complies with
the KTAP version 1 specification format found here:
https://kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/ktap.html. Ensure the parser
is able to parse tests with the original KUnit test output format as
well.

KUnit parser now accepts any of the following test output formats:

Original KUnit test output format:

TAP version 14
1..1
# Subtest: kunit-test-suite
1..3
ok 1 - kunit_test_1
ok 2 - kunit_test_2
ok 3 - kunit_test_3
# kunit-test-suite: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
# Totals: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
ok 1 - kunit-test-suite

KTAP version 1 test output format:

KTAP version 1
1..1
KTAP version 1
1..3
ok 1 kunit_test_1
ok 2 kunit_test_2
ok 3 kunit_test_3
ok 1 kunit-test-suite

New KUnit test output format (changes made in the next patch of
this series):

KTAP version 1
1..1
KTAP version 1
# Subtest: kunit-test-suite
1..3
ok 1 kunit_test_1
ok 2 kunit_test_2
ok 3 kunit_test_3
# kunit-test-suite: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
# Totals: pass:3 fail:0 skip:0 total:3
ok 1 kunit-test-suite
