kunit: fix UAF when run kfence test case test_gfpzero

Patch series "kunit: fix a UAF bug and do some optimization", v2.

This series is to fix UAF (use after free) when running kfence test case
test_gfpzero, which is time costly.  This UAF bug can be easily triggered
by setting CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS = 65535.  Furthermore, some
optimization for kunit tests has been done.

This patch (of 3):

Kunit will create a new thread to run an actual test case, and the main
process will wait for the completion of the actual test thread until
overtime.  The variable "struct kunit test" has local property in function
kunit_try_catch_run, and will be used in the test case thread.  Task
kunit_try_catch_run will free "struct kunit test" when kunit runs
overtime, but the actual test case is still run and an UAF bug will be
triggered.

The above problem has been both observed in a physical machine and qemu
platform when running kfence kunit tests.  The problem can be triggered
when setting CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS = 65535.  Under this setting, the
test case test_gfpzero will cost hours and kunit will run to overtime.
The follows show the panic log.

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff82d882e9

To solve this problem, the test case thread should be stopped when the
kunit frame runs overtime.  The stop signal will send in function
kunit_try_catch_run, and test_gfpzero will handle it.
