This re-execs unconditionally, but ping.py lives in drivers/net/, and
per the README the tests there run against a real driver as well, with
NETIF set in the environment or in net.config. _load_env_file() starts
from os.environ, so NETIF survives the exec, but the device itself
stays in init_net, and "ip link show dev $NETIF" fails in the new
namespace. The commit message says "in netdevsim mode"; the code does
not check for it.

Please re-exec only when NETIF is not set. Either in main(), or better
inside rexec_in_netns() itself, since the helper went into the shared
library and every caller will need the same check.

lo is down in the new namespace. ping.py does not depend on loopback
and rand_port() binds to "", so nothing breaks today, but the helper is
shared, and the next test that talks to 127.0.0.1 will trip over it. An
"ip link set lo up" in the wrapper closes that for one line.
