Note here are two unsafe operations: `Task::current()` and the pointer
dereference. You can use the `current!()` macro here to avoid the first
unsafe operation here. Besides I think it'll be better if
in_kunit_test() is a safe method for `Task`? That will be easier for us
to track the usage of task_struct fields in Rust side. But I'm OK with
either way.
