Three tests share the initial namespace with the machine and fail on
what is already in it.

fdb_notify and test_vxlan_fdb_changelink bring up a vxlan device on the
default port 4789. Where the machine already has one there, and that
one is metadata based, as the device open vswitch keeps is, the port
cannot be shared and the test device is never created:

  # ip link add vxs type vxlan external dstport 4789
  # ip link add name vx up type vxlan id 2000 dstport 4789
  RTNETLINK answers: Address already in use
  # ./test_vxlan_fdb_changelink.sh
  Cannot find device "vx"
  expected two remotes after link set	[FAIL]

Run both in a fresh namespace by re-executing them there, the way
nft_audit.sh, nft_concat_range.sh and br_netfilter_queue.sh already do.

bind_wildcard binds 0.0.0.0 and expects to know which sockets exist.
With 432 foreign sockets on 0.0.0.0 on the machine it failed 6 runs out
of 10; unsharing a namespace in FIXTURE_SETUP took that to 0 out of 10.
This is what commit a897e194c475 ("selftests: net: run reuseport in an
isolated netns") does for the reuseport tests.
