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 v3:
- removed unused "init" field from "struct kunit_resources" (Brendan)
Shuah, it looks like you haven't sent a PR to Linus yet. Would you
mind picking this up for 5.8?
Applied to linux-kselftest kunit branch for second update for
Linux 5.8-rc1
thanks,
-- Shuah
