Florian Schmaus fb6988b83b kunit: fix use-after-free in debugfs when using kunit.filter
When the kernel is booted with a kunit filter (e.g.,
kunit.filter="speed!=slow"), the kunit executor dynamically allocates
copies of the filtered test suites using kmalloc/kmemdup.

During the initial boot execution, kunit_debugfs_create_suite() creates
debugfs files (such as /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/<suite>/run) and
permanently stores a pointer to the dynamically allocated suite in the
inode's i_private field.

Previously, the executor freed this dynamically allocated suite_set
immediately after executing the boot-time tests. Because the debugfs
nodes were not destroyed, any subsequent interaction with the debugfs
`run` file from userspace triggered a use-after-free (UAF). On systems
with architectural capabilities, like CHERI RISC-V, this resulted in
an immediate fatal hardware exception due to the invalidation of the
capability tags on the reclaimed memory. On other architectures, it
resulted in silent memory corruption.

Fix this UAF by properly coupling the lifetime of the filtered suite
memory allocation to the lifetime of the kunit subsystem and its
associated VFS nodes. Ownership of the boot-time suite_set is now
transferred to a global tracker ('kunit_boot_suites'), and the memory
is cleanly released in kunit_exit() during module teardown.
