Ugh.  That's just a bug in include/linux/printk.h

There should be a stub definition for vprintk_emit() in the #else part 
of #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK.

You shouldn't be dealing with whether printk is present or not
in the kunit code.  All the printk-related routines are supposed
to evaporate themselves, based on the conditional in
include/linux/printk.h

That should be fixed there instead of in your code.

Let me know if you'd like me to submit a patch for that.  I only hesitate
because your patch depends on it, and IMHO it makes more sense to
include it in your batch than separately. Otherwise there's a patch race
condition.
