From: Aleksei Oladko <aleksey.oladko at virtuozzo.com>

Some net/forwarding kselftests set NUM_NETIFS, causing lib.sh to create
the requested number of veth peer interfaces.

These interfaces are not removed when the tests finish, leaving stale
veth devices in the system. This can cause subsequent tests to fail,
for example min_max_mtu.sh.

Ensure that veth peers created via NUM_NETIFS are properly removed at
the end of the tests to avoid interference between test runs.
