selftests: harness: Detect illegal mixing of kselftest and harness functionality
Users may accidentally use the kselftest_test_result_*() functions in their harness tests. If ksft_finished() is not used, the results reported in this way are silently ignored. Detect such false-positive cases and fail the test. A more correct test would be to reject *any* usage of the ksft APIs but that would force code churn on users. Correct usages, which do use ksft_finished() will not trigger this validation as the test will exit before it.
