kunit: run test suites only after module initialization completes
Commit 2810c1e9 ("kunit: Fix wild-memory-access bug in kunit_free_suite_set()") fixed a wild-memory-access bug that could have happened during the loading phase of test suites built and executed as loadable modules. However, it also introduced a problematic side effect that causes test suites modules to crash when they attempt to register fake devices. When a module is loaded, it traverses the MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED and MODULE_STATE_COMING states before reaching the normal operating state MODULE_STATE_LIVE. Finally, when the module is removed, it moves to MODULE_STATE_GOING before being released. However, if the loading function load_module() fails between complete_formation() and do_init_module(), the module goes directly from MODULE_STATE_COMING to MODULE_STATE_GOING without passing through MODULE_STATE_LIVE. This behavior was causing kunit_module_exit() to be called without having first executed kunit_module_init(). Since kunit_modu...
