kunit.filter_glob only works on built-in tests, which is why you can
only set it once atm.
There is no currently no way for KUnit to run a subset of tests in modules.

The module init code is here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.0/source/lib/kunit/test.c#L620
As you can see, that func it calls just initializes and runs all the
suites: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.0/source/lib/kunit/test.c#L589

This can of course be changed, just needs some work on the KUnit-side.
