[PATCH bpf-next 5/7] selftests/bpf: Remove the "/sys" mount and umount dance in {open,close}_netns

[Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxxx>

The previous patches have removed the need to do the mount and umount
dance when switching netns. In particular:
* Avoid remounting /sys/fs/bpf to have a clean start
* Avoid remounting /sys to get a ifindex of a particular netns

This patch can finally remove the mount and umount dance in
{open,close}_netns which is unnecessarily complicated and
error-prone.
