When going through the documentation there was only mention of the C headers for
the kselftest framework which outputs using the KTAP format, so I thought that
was the only acceptable option.

But in the meantime while looking through the other tests I saw you've recently
added ktap output to ftrace/ftracetest. The newly added test in
net/mptcp/mptcp_lib.sh also has its own helpers for outputting in KTAP. There
are also a couple other cases of this in python.

So I can definitely do the same for this test.

Thanks,
