tools/testing/cxl: Prevent cxl_test from confusing production modules
The cxl_test machinery builds modified versions of the modules in drivers/cxl/ and intercepts some of their calls to allow cxl_test to inject mock CXL topologies for test. However, if cxl_test attempts the same with production modules, fireworks ensue as Luis discovered [1]. Prevent that scenario by arranging for cxl_test to check for a "watermark" symbol in each of the modules it expects to be modified before the test can run. This turns undefined runtime behavior or crashes into a safer failure to load the cxl_test module.
