Commit c272612cb4a2 ("kunit: Taint the kernel when KUnit tests are run")
added a new taint flag for when in-kernel tests run. This commit adds
recognition of this new flag in kernel-chktaint.


What happens without this change? It isn't clear what this change is
fixing.

Changes in v2:
- based off of kselftest/kunit branch
- Added David's Reviewed-by tag


This still looks good to me.

Unless anyone objects, I guess we'll take this through the KUnit
branch (which, after all, is where the taint was originally added).
I've added it to the list for 6.1, but it technically could be
considered a fix for 6.0 as well.


I can definitely take this for Linux 6.0 with additional information
on the problems seen without this change.
