selftests: devlink_lib: Fix bouncing of netdevsim DEVLINK_DEV

In the commit referenced below, a check was added to devlink_lib that
asserts the existence of a devlink device referenced by $DEVLINK_DEV.
Unfortunately, several netdevsim tests point DEVLINK_DEV at a device that
does not exist at the time that devlink_lib is sourced. Thus these tests
spuriously fail.

Fix this by introducing an override. By setting DEVLINK_DEV to an empty
string, the user declares their intention to handle DEVLINK_DEV management
on their own.

In all netdevsim tests that use devlink_lib and set DEVLINK_DEV, set
instead an empty DEVLINK_DEV just before sourcing devlink_lib, and set it
to the correct value right afterwards.

Fixes: 557c4d2f
