Documentation: KUnit: reword description of assertions

The existing wording implies that kunit_kmalloc_array() is "the method
under test". We're actually testing the sort() function in that example.
This is because the example was changed in commit 95357439
("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"),
but the wording was not.

Also add a `note` telling people they can use the KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ()
macros from any function. Some users might be coming from a framework
like gUnit where that'll compile but silently do the wrong thing.

......@@ -112,11 +112,14 @@ terminates the test case if the condition is not satisfied. For example:
KUNIT_EXPECT_LE(test, a[i], a[i + 1]);
}
In this example, the method under test should return pointer to a value. If the
pointer returns null or an errno, we want to stop the test since the following
expectation could crash the test case. `ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(...)` allows us
to bail out of the test case if the appropriate conditions are not satisfied to
complete the test.
In this example, we need to be able to allocate an array to test the ``sort()``
function. So we use ``KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL()`` to abort the test if
there's an allocation error.
.. note::
In other test frameworks, ``ASSERT`` macros are often implemented by calling
``return`` so they only work from the test function. In KUnit, we stop the
current kthread on failure, so you can call them from anywhere.
