We don't want to rely on a debugging feature unless necessary. Often
testing is done on production kernels.

If the test is run on a buggy kernel without lockdep then might we get a
deadlock?

So I think it would be best to run the test, but skip the kmsg check if
lockdep is not enabled (using tst_kconfig_get).
