lib/test_kmod: do not hardcode/depend on any filesystem

Right now test_kmod has hardcoded dependencies on btrfs/xfs.  That is not
optimal since you end up needing to select/build them, but it is not
really required since other fs could be selected for the testing.  Also,
we can't change the default/driver module used for testing on
initialization.

Thus make it more generic: introduce two module parameters (start_driver
and start_test_fs), which allow to select which modules/fs to use for the
testing on test_kmod initialization.  Then it's up to the user to select
which modules/fs to use for testing based on his config.  However, keep
test_module as required default.

This way, config/modules becomes selectable as when the testing is done
from selftests (userspace).

While at it, also change trigger_config_run_type, since at module
initialization we already set the defaults at __kmod_config_init and
should not need to do it again in test_kmod_init(), thus we can avoid to
again set test_driver/test_fs.
