list: add kunit test for private list primitives

Add a KUnit test suite for the new private list primitives.

The test defines a struct with a __private list_head and exercises every
macro defined in <linux/list_private.h>.

This ensures that the macros correctly handle the ACCESS_PRIVATE()
abstraction and compile without warnings when acting on private members,
verifying that qualifiers are stripped and offsets are calculated
correctly.
