This leaves the user with the output:

root@...iant:# ./bridge_igmp.sh
SKIP: could not find all required interfaces
root@...iant:#

Arguably it might be prudent to offer some sensible defaults, as a novice developer
running all selftests might not have the net stack insight required to modify those,
but be lucky instead to get away with the `make kselftest` run ... :-)
