selftests: harness: Detect illegal mixing of kselftest and harness functionality

Users may accidentally use the kselftest_test_result_*() functions in
their harness tests. If ksft_finished() is not used, the results
reported in this way are silently ignored.

Detect such false-positive cases and fail the test.

A more correct test would be to reject *any* usage of the ksft APIs but
that would force code churn on users.

Correct usages, which do use ksft_finished() will not trigger this
validation as the test will exit before it.
