When you want to run the cleanup _now_.

We construct the cleanup as soon as we allocate the resource,
it stays on the deferred list in case some exception makes us abort,
but the test may want to free the resource or reconfigure it further
as part of the test, in which case it can run .exec() (or cancel() to
discard the clean up without running it).

Here we do:
 1. constrain RSS
 2. run traffic (to check we're hitting expected queues)
 3. reset RSS
 4. run traffic (to check we're hitting all queues)

so step 3 runs the cleanup of step 1 explicitly.
