It looks the openvswitch.sh test script is already trying quite hard to
delete the allocated resources on ungraceful termination via "trap...".
That is usually enough for other self-tests, could you please detail
when it fails here?

'timeout' should send SIG_TERM, and the script already handle that
gracefully?

I suggest avoiding this, it could end up killing innocent alias netns.
You could consider using the 'setup_ns' helper from the
tools/testing/selftests/net/lib.sh library to always generate unique
netns names.

Minor unrelated note: $() is preferable to `` for sub-shells, as it's
more friendly to nesting, string expansing, quotes, etc.
