Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/3] selftests: drv-net: add ability to schedule cleanup with defer()

This implements what I was describing in [1]. When writing a test
author can schedule cleanup / undo actions right after the creation
completes, eg:

  cmd("touch /tmp/file")
  defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file")

defer() takes the function name as first argument, and the rest are
arguments for that function. defer()red functions are called in
inverse order after test exits. It's also possible to capture them
and execute earlier (in which case they get automatically de-queued).

  undo = defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file")
  # ... some unsafe code ...
  undo.exec()

As a nice safety all exceptions from defer()ed calls are captured,
printed, and ignored (they do make the test fail, however).
This addresses the common problem of exceptions in cleanup paths
often being unhandled, leading to potential leaks.

There is a global action queue, flushed by ksft_run(). We could support
function level defers too, I guess, but there's no immediate need..

v2:
 - split refactor to previous patch
 - user bare except instead of except Exception
 - rename _exec() -> exec_only() and use in flush
 - reorder queue removal vs calling callback
 - add print to indicate ID of failed callback
 - remove the state flags
