run_kernel() appended KUnit flags directly to the caller-provided args
list. When exec_tests() calls run_kernel() repeatedly (e.g. with
--run_isolated), each call mutated the same list, causing later runs
to inherit stale filter_glob values and duplicate kunit.enable flags.

Fix this by copying args at the start of run_kernel(). Add a regression
test that calls run_kernel() twice with the same list and verifies the
original remains unchanged.
