A recent RFC patch set [1] suggests some additional functionality may be needed around kunit resources. It seems to require
1. support for resources without allocation 2. support for lookup of such resources 3. support for access to resources across multiple kernel threads
The proposed changes here are designed to address these needs. The idea is we first generalize the API to support adding resources with static data; then from there we support named resources. The latter support is needed because if we are in a different thread context and only have the "struct kunit *" to work with, we need a way to identify a resource in lookup.

Changes since v1: - reformatted longer parameter lists to have one parameter per-line (Brendan, patch 1) - fixed phrasing in various comments to clarify allocation of memory and added comment to kunit resource tests to clarify why kunit_put_resource() is used there (Brendan, patch 1) - changed #define to static inline function (Brendan, patch 2) - simplified kunit_add_named_resource() to use more of existing code for non-named resource (Brendan, patch 2)
