Add basic KUnit tests for the generic aspects of the lazy MMU mode:
ensure that it appears active when it should, depending on how
enable/disable and pause/resume pairs are nested.
I needed this for powerpc allmodconfig;

Oh indeed I hadn't considered that arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode()
refer to those symbols on powerpc... Maybe a bit overkill to export
those just for a test module, but I'm not sure there's a good
alternative. Forcing LAZY_MMU_MODE_KUNIT_TEST=y is ugly as it would also
force KUNIT=y. Alternatively we could depend on !PPC, not pretty either.
Does EXPORT_SYMBOL_IF_KUNIT() help?
It most certainly would, I didn't know about that one, thanks!
