The current KUnit documentation does not mention the kunit.enable kernel parameter, making it unclear how to troubleshoot cases where KUnit tests do not run as expected. Add a note explaining kunit.enable parmaeter. Disabling this parameter prevents all KUnit tests from running even if CONFIG_KUNIT is enabled.
