Checks like
  KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, x->data, a.data);
won't do anything, given that x == &a.
We're just comparing x->data to itself.

So we would have to write something instead like
  hash_for_each(hash, bkt, x, node) {
          x->visited++;
          if (x->key == a.key) {
                  KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, x->data, 13);
          } else if (x->key == b.key) {
                  KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, x->data, 10);
          } else { /* some call to KUNIT_FAIL about a bad key */ }
  }

Maybe that's worth it in one of the test cases, but I don't know if
it's necessary to replicate this in the other places where we're
incrementing `visited` by checking keys.
