There are some use cases where the kernel binary is desired to be the same for both production and testing. This poses a problem for users of KUnit as built-in tests will automatically run at startup and test modules can still be loaded leaving the kernel in an unsafe state. There is a "test" taint flag that gets set if a test runs but nothing to prevent the execution.
This patch adds the kunit.enable module parameter that will need to be set to true in addition to KUNIT being enabled for KUnit tests to run. The default value is true giving backwards compatibility. However, for the production+testing use case the new config option KUNIT_ENABLE_DEFAULT_DISABLED can be enabled to default kunit.enable to false requiring the tester to opt-in by passing kunit.enable=1 to the kernel.
