[PATCH] selftests: net: fib_nexthops: detect kernel splats from torture tests

[Vastargazing]

The four nexthop torture subtests delete and re-add a group member
while ping -f and mausezahn keep traffic flowing through the same
group, so on each iteration the read side runs nh_grp_entry_stats_inc()
while the write side goes through remove_nh_grp_entry(). That is the
exact race fixed in commit b2662e7593e9 ("net: nexthop: fix percpu
use-after-free in remove_nh_grp_entry").

The reason it never tripped these tests is the assertion. Each subtest
ends with "if we did not crash, success", so a KASAN splat without
panic_on_warn=1 lands in dmesg and the test still prints [OK]. The UAF
above would have been visible to a KASAN run of fib_nexthops.sh; the
torture loop just did not bother to look.

Drop a marker into /dev/kmsg before each torture subtest, grep for
KASAN/UBSAN/KCSAN/KFENCE/Oops/"kernel BUG at" lines once the load is
killed, and fail the subtest with the offending lines printed if any
match. The check is skipped when /dev/kmsg is not writable so the
existing pass behaviour is preserved on restricted setups. No new
TEST_PROGS, no new test mechanism, just close the assertion gap.
