selftests: pmtu.sh: Kill tcpdump processes launched by subshell.



The cleanup() function takes care of killing processes launched by the
test functions. It relies on variables like ${tcpdump_pids} to get the
relevant PIDs. But tests are run in their own subshell, so updated
*_pids values are invisible to other shells. Therefore cleanup() never
sees any process to kill:

$ ./tools/testing/selftests/net/pmtu.sh -t pmtu_ipv4_exception
TEST: ipv4: PMTU exceptions                                         [ OK ]
TEST: ipv4: PMTU exceptions - nexthop objects                       [ OK ]

$ pgrep -af tcpdump
6084 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_A-R1 -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_A-R1.pcap
6085 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R1-A -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R1-A.pcap
6086 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R1-B -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R1-B.pcap
6087 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_B-R1 -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_B-R1.pcap
6088 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_A-R2 -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_A-R2.pcap
6089 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R2-A -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R2-A.pcap
6090 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R2-B -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R2-B.pcap
6091 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_B-R2 -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_B-R2.pcap

6232 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_A-R2 -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_A-R2.pcap
6233 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R2-A -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R2-A.pcap
6234 tcpdump -s 0 -i veth_R2-B -w pmtu_ipv4_exception_veth_R2-B.pcap

Fix this by running cleanup() in the context of the test subshell.
Now that each test cleans the environment after completion, there's no
need for calling cleanup() again when the next test starts. So let's
drop it from the setup() function. This is okay because cleanup() is
also called when pmtu.sh starts, so even the first test starts in a
clean environment.

Also, use tcpdump's immediate mode. Otherwise it might not have time to
process buffered packets, resulting in missing packets or even empty
pcap files for short tests.

Note: PAUSE_ON_FAIL is still evaluated before cleanup(), so one can
still inspect the test environment upon failure when using -p.
