One very optional suggestion below.

very optional,
  KUNIT_EXPECT_FALSE_MSG(test, list_is_head(&a, &c), "Head of a
different list");
It goes over 80 char, so probably needs to be line-wrapped, and thus
doesn't reduce # of lines.

Given the simplicity of this function (checks that its args are
equal), I highly doubt it should ever fail, and so better error
messages aren't really much of a bonus.
