Thank you, Daniel. This looks fine to me except for a small typo in
this line "to abort
the test if we there's an allocation error". Also, I have reworded
that paragraph a bit
as below. Please feel free to ignore, if you do not agree:

In this example, to test the ``sort()`` function, we must be able to
allocate an array.
If there is an allocation error, the test is terminated using the function
``KUNIT ASSERT NOT ERR OR NULL()``.
