The existing wording implies that kunit_kmalloc_array() is "the method
under test". We're actually testing the sort() function in that example.
This is because the example was changed in commit 953574390634
("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"),
but the wording was not.
Also add a `note` telling people they can use the KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ()
macros from any function. Some users might be coming from a framework
like gUnit where that'll compile but silently do the wrong thing.
