[Devel] [PATCH vz10 4/4] selftests: drv-net-hw: skip the tests that need a real interface

ethtool, ethtool_extended_state, hw_stats_l3 and hw_stats_l3_gre need a
device that can set link speed and autonegotiation, report an extended
link state, or offload L3 statistics. Where none is configured, lib.sh
creates a veth pair instead, which supports none of that, so every case
fails on something the kernel correctly refuses.

Upstream answers this by keeping such tests in drivers/net/hw and not
running them on veth at all: commit 0c499a351777 ("selftests:
forwarding: Ditch skip_on_veth()") removed the equivalent check once the
directory was split out. This guard is therefore not for upstream, it
only stops a run that substitutes veth pairs from reporting failures.

Skip before sourcing lib.sh, because lib.sh makes the veth pair as it is
sourced. Exiting afterwards leaves the devices behind - vrf_cleanup()
removes them and a test that skips never gets there - and a later test
that adds a veth by one of those names then cannot. hw_stats_l3_gre
asks for six interfaces, so one run left veth0 to veth5 in the initial
namespace and the netfilter suite failed on it.
