The infrastructure to mock core libnvdimm routines for unit testing
purposes is prone to bitrot relative to refactoring of that core.
Arrange for the unit test core to be built when CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y.
This does not result in a functional unit test environment, it is only a
helper for 0day to catch unit test build regressions.

Looks fine:

I'm still curious what the point of hiding kernel code in tools/
is vs fully integrating it with the build system.

The separation of tools/ is due to way the "--wrap=" ldflag behaves.
It can only wrap symbols across a module linking boundary. So to
produce a setup where libnvdimm is ingesting faked responses it all
needs to be built as external modules and relinked.

It's an inelegant way to get some test coverage beyond what qemu-kvm
can do, my hope is that down the road I can use the new Kunit
infrastructure to do something similar in a cleaner / more formal way.
