I'm in favor of putting it in kunit-example-test.c as well.

But I hear there was pushback to have a non-passing test in the example?
I guess the fear is that someone will see something that doesn't say
"passed" in the example output and think something has gone wrong?

Hence this more conservative change.
But I hope that in the absence of any replies in opposition, we can
just keep one example-test.c
