kunit_kfree() can only work on data ("resources") allocated by KUnit.
Currently for code like this,
> void *ptr = kmalloc(4, GFP_KERNEL);
> kunit_kfree(test, ptr);
kunit_kfree() will segfault.
It'll try and look up the kunit_resource associated with `ptr` and get a
NULL back, but it won't check for this. This means we also segfault if
you double-free.
Change kunit_kfree() so it'll notice these invalid pointers and respond
by failing the test.
Implementation: kunit_destroy_resource() does what kunit_kfree() does,
but is more generic and returns -ENOENT when it can't find the resource.
Sadly, unlike just letting it crash, this means we don't get a stack
trace. But kunit_kfree() is so infrequently used it shouldn't be hard to
track down the bad callsite anyways.
After this change, the above code gives:
> # example_simple_test: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/kunit/test.c:702
> kunit_kfree: 00000000626ec200 already freed or not allocated by kunit

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.
