Some comments below but they're all stylistic and let's not make perfect
be the enemy of the good here so

and we can iterate later rather than blocking anything on the testcase.

We should get this from the kernel headers shouldn't we?  We generally
rely on things getting pulled in from there rather than locally
defining.

It feels like we could usefully make an array of

	struct test {
		int (*run)(bool mdwe_enabled);
		char *name;
	}

then we'd need fewer ifdefs, things could be more usefully named and
it'd be a bit easier to add new cases.

That'd just be ksft_test_plan(3 * ARRAY_SIZE(tests).

and these calls to the tests would all be iterating over the array.
