In netdevsim mode NetDrvEpEnv gives the remote end a namespace of its
own and leaves the local end in the one the test was started in, so
the filtering of the host applies to the traffic the test sends to
itself. A host that drops it fails the test:
# nft add rule inet t input ip saddr 192.0.2.0/24 tcp flags syn drop
# ./ping.py
ok 1 ping.test_v4
ok 2 ping.test_v6
not ok 3 ping.test_tcp
# Stopping tests due to KsftTerminate.
ICMP is let through where TCP is not, which is why the first two pass
and the test then sits there until it is killed.
Re-execute the test in a namespace of its own, the way nft_audit.sh and
nft_concat_range.sh already do, and mount sysfs again there so that the
netdevsim devices the test creates are the ones it sees.
