selftests: mptcp: run mptcp_sockopt from a new netns
[ Upstream commit 7e68d31020f18f8d695d5f143fc16cdaa96166cb ]
Not running it from a new netns causes issues if some MPTCP settings are
modified, e.g. if MPTCP is disabled from the sysctl knob, if multiple
addresses are available and added to the MPTCP path-manager, etc.
In these cases, the created connection will not behave as expected, e.g.
unable to create an MPTCP socket, more than one subflow is seen, etc.
A new "sandbox" net namespace is now created and used to run
mptcp_sockopt from this controlled environment.
