For context, here's what an example kunit test looks like:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/lib/kunit/kunit-example-test.c

So having the hierarchy of test_suite => list of tests is a big step
towards that.

A brief skim suggests we still have test funcs like `__test_bpf(int
idx)`, whereas normally KUnit has each test case as its own function.
In the case of bpf.c, it has a test table, so it'd probably use
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/usage.html#parameterized-testing

So overall there would probably be a pretty big delta if/when moving
to KUnit, but it should be quite a bit easier after these patches.
