Cover letter [for-next][PATCH 0/7] ktest: A working config-bisect and other updates

The big change here is that I rewrote the config-bisect test.

Now you can take two configs, one that works and one that does not, and it will bisect the two until it comes down to a single change that causes one to work and the other to fail.

I updated this because the latest kernel caused my min config to no longer boot the kernel built with allnoconfig. I was missing something. After rewriting this code (and making the code so much more simpler), it found the missing config without a problem.

Also some other clean ups and fixes.
