Re-work string_stream so that it is not tied to a struct kunit. This is
to allow using it for the log of struct kunit_suite.
Instead of resource-managing individual allocations the whole string_stream
can be resource-managed, if required.
alloc_string_stream() now allocates a string stream that is
not resource-managed.
string_stream_destroy() now works on an unmanaged string_stream
allocated by alloc_string_stream() and frees the entire
string_stream (previously it only freed the fragments).
string_stream_clear() has been made public for callers that
want to free the fragments without destroying the string_stream.
For resource-managed allocations use kunit_alloc_string_stream()
and kunit_free_string_stream().
In addition to this, string_stream_get_string() now returns an
unmanaged buffer that the caller must kfree().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
