The test should already clean up after itself, by being run inside a
network namespace. That is a more robust method to ensure that all
state is reset.

The issue here is that the else branch is taken in

  if [[ "$(ip netns identify)" == "root" ]]; then
          ./in_netns.sh $0 $@
  else
          main $@
  fi

because the ip netns identify usually returns an empty string, not
"root". If we fix that, no need to add additional cleanup.
