kunit: Add a macro to wrap a deferred action function

KUnit's deferred action API accepts a void(*)(void *) function pointer
which is called when the test is exited. However, we very frequently
want to use existing functions which accept a single pointer, but which
may not be of type void*. While this is probably dodgy enough to be on
the wrong side of the C standard, it's been often used for similar
callbacks, and gcc's -Wcast-function-type seems to ignore cases where
the only difference is the type of the argument, assuming it's
compatible (i.e., they're both pointers to data).

However, clang 16 has introduced -Wcast-function-type-strict, which no
longer permits any deviation in function pointer type. This seems to be
because it'd break CFI, which validates the type of function calls.

This rather ruins our attempts to cast functions to defer them, and
leaves us with a few options. The one we've chosen is to implement a
macro which will generate a wrapper function which accepts a void*, and
casts the argument to the appropriate type.

For example, if you were trying to wrap:
void foo_close(struct foo *handle);
you could use:
KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER(kunit_action_foo_close,
foo_close,
struct foo *);

This would create a new kunit_action_foo_close() function, of type
kunit_action_t, which could be passed into kunit_add_action() and
similar functions.

In addition to defining this macro, update KUnit and its tests to use
it.

kunit: Fix obsolete name in documentation headers (func->action)

The kunit_add_action() and related functions named the kunit_action_t
parameter 'func' in early drafts, which was later renamed to 'action'
However, the doc comments were not properly updated.

Fix these to avoid confusion and 'make htmldocs' warnings.

kunit: Add kunit_add_action() to defer a call until test exit

Many uses of the KUnit resource system are intended to simply defer
calling a function until the test exits (be it due to success or
failure). The existing kunit_alloc_resource() function is often used for
this, but was awkward to use (requiring passing NULL init functions, etc),
and returned a resource without incrementing its reference count, which
-- while okay for this use-case -- could cause problems in others.

Instead, introduce a simple kunit_add_action() API: a simple function
(returning nothing, accepting a single void* argument) can be scheduled
to be called when the test exits. Deferred actions are called in the
opposite order to that which they were registered.

This mimics the devres API, devm_add_action(), and also provides
kunit_remove_action(), to cancel a deferred action, and
kunit_release_action() to trigger one early.

This is implemented as a resource under the hood, so the ordering
between resource cleanup and deferred functions is maintained.

kunit: Use gfp in kunit_alloc_resource() kernel-doc

Copy/pasting the code from the kernel-doc here doesn't compile because
kunit_alloc_resource() takes a gfp flags argument. Pass the gfp
argument from the caller to complete the example.

kunit: make kunit_kfree() only work on pointers from kunit_malloc() and friends

kunit_kfree() exists to clean up allocations from kunit_kmalloc() and
friends early instead of waiting for this to happen automatically at the
end of the test.

But it can be used on *anything* registered with the kunit resource API.

E.g. the last 2 statements are equivalent:
struct kunit_resource *res = something();
kfree(res->data);
kunit_put_resource(res);

The problem is that there could be multiple resources that point to the
same `data`.

E.g. you can have a named resource acting as a pseudo-global variable in
a test. If you point it to data allocated with kunit_kmalloc(), then
calling `kunit_kfree(ptr)` has the chance to delete either the named
resource or to kfree `ptr`.
Which one it does depends on the order the resources are registered as
kunit_kfree() will delete resources in LIFO order.

So this patch restricts kunit_kfree() to only working on resources
created by kunit_kmalloc(). Calling it is therefore guaranteed to free
the memory, not do anything else.

Note: kunit_resource_instance_match() wasn't used outside of KUnit, so
it should be safe to remove from the public interface. It's also
generally dangerous, as shown above, and shouldn't be used.

kunit: Rework kunit_resource allocation policy

KUnit's test-managed resources can be created in two ways:
- Using the kunit_add_resource() family of functions, which accept a
struct kunit_resource pointer, typically allocated statically or on
the stack during the test.
- Using the kunit_alloc_resource() family of functions, which allocate a
struct kunit_resource using kzalloc() behind the scenes.

Both of these families of functions accept a 'free' function to be
called when the resource is finally disposed of.

At present, KUnit will kfree() the resource if this 'free' function is
specified, and will not if it is NULL. However, this can lead
kunit_alloc_resource() to leak memory (if no 'free' function is passed
in), or kunit_add_resource() to incorrectly kfree() memory which was
allocated by some other means (on the stack, as part of a larger
allocation, etc), if a 'free' function is provided.

Instead, always kfree() if the resource was allocated with
kunit_alloc_resource(), and never kfree() if it was passed into
kunit_add_resource() by the user. (If the user of kunit_add_resource()
wishes the resource be kfree()ed, they can call kfree() on the resource
from within the 'free' function.

This is implemented by adding a 'should_free' member to
struct kunit_resource and setting it appropriately. To facilitate this,
the various resource add/alloc functions have been refactored somewhat,
making them all call a __kunit_add_resource() helper after setting the
'should_free' member appropriately. In the process, all other functions
have been made static inline functions.

kunit: split resource API from test.h into new resource.h

Background:
Currently, a reader looking at kunit/test.h will find the file is quite
long, and the first meaty comment is a doc comment about struct
kunit_resource.

Most users will not ever use the KUnit resource API directly.
They'll use kunit_kmalloc() and friends, or decide it's simpler to do
cleanups via labels (it often can be) instead of figuring out how to use
the API.

It's also logically separate from everything else in test.h.
Removing it from the file doesn't cause any compilation errors (since
struct kunit has `struct list_head resources` to store them).

This commit:
Let's move it into a kunit/resource.h file and give it a separate page
in the docs, kunit/api/resource.rst.

We include resource.h at the bottom of test.h since
* don't want to force existing users to add a new include if they use the API
* it accesses `lock` inside `struct kunit` in a inline func
* so we can't just forward declare, and the alternatives require
uninlining the func, adding hepers to lock/unlock, or other more
invasive changes.

Now the first big comment in test.h is about kunit_case, which is a lot
more relevant to what a new user wants to know.

A side effect of this is git blame won't properly track history by
default, users need to run
$ git blame -L ,1 -C17 include/kunit/resource.h
