If the module state is from MODULE_STATE_LIVE to MODULE_STATE_GOING, in
kunit_module_init() the kunit_exec_run_tests() is executed when action
is NULL whether kunit_filter_suites() succeeds or not. But in
kunit_module_exit() __kunit_test_suites_exit() will not be executed when
action is NULL if kunit_filter_suites() fails.
