I forgot kunit_suite_has_succeeded() is called in the debugfs code.
So it looks like we need to track the init error in struct
kunit_suite, as you said.

It might be cleaner to just store a status in the suite eventually,
but I'll just add the int for now.

Sending a v2 series here:

I also added on a new patch to fix the type confusion in the debugfs
code (using bool instead of enum kunit_status).
