The reference counting issue happens in the normal path of kfree_at_end(). When kunit_alloc_and_get_resource() is invoked, the function forgets to handle the returned resource object, whose refcount increased inside, causing a refcount leak. Fix this issue by calling kunit_put_resource() at the end of function.
