Commit 2810c1e99867 ("kunit: Fix wild-memory-access bug in
kunit_free_suite_set()") causes test suites to run while the test
module is still in MODULE_STATE_COMING. In that state, the module
is not fully initialized, lacking sysfs, module_memory, args, init
function. This behavior can cause all sorts of problems while using
fake devices.
This RFC patch restores the normal execution flow, waiting for module
initialization to complete before running the tests, and uses the
refcount to avoid calling kunit_free_suite_set() if load_module()
fails.
