    selftests: Print the test we're running to /dev/kmsg · 88893cf7

    Some tests cause the kernel to print things to the kernel log
    buffer (ie. printk), in particular oops and warnings etc. However when
    running all the tests in succession it's not always obvious which
    test(s) caused the kernel to print something.
    
    We can narrow it down by printing which test directory we're running
    in to /dev/kmsg, if it's writable.
    
    Example output:
    
      [  170.149149] kselftest: Running tests in powerpc
      [  305.300132] kworker/dying (71) used greatest stack depth: 7776 bytes
                     left
      [  808.915456] kselftest: Running tests in pstore
