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..
