kunit_tool relies on the UML console outputting printk() output to the tty in order to get results. Since the default console driver could change, pass 'console=tty' to the kernel.
This is triggered by a change[1] to use ttynull as a fallback console driver which -- by chance or by design -- seems to have changed the default console output on UML, breaking kunit_tool. While this may be fixed, we should be less fragile to such changes in the default.
