Personally, I don't have a problem with having it as a field (other
than the memory usage, which shouldn't be so much as to cause
problems). It seems that the suite result is logically part of the
suite, and given that status_comment is in struct kunit_suite and
there's a kunit_status field in kunit_case, having it as a field in
the suite seems the most logically consistent thing to do.

It still doesn't solve the fact that kunit_suite_has_succeeded() no
longer tells you if a suite has succeeded or not. If we stick with
this (with the conditional either here or in the caller), I think we
should at least rename kunit_suite_has_succeded() to something like
kunit_suite_subtests_status().

That being said, I do prefer passing a 'kunit_status' around to an 'int'.
