Luckily tools/testing/selftests/net/run_afpackettests already runs
this test in a network namespace, so nothing terrible will happen if
it leaves lo down on exit.

I'd like to avoid this many code changes. As long as the test exits
with failure, it's fine if this particular state is left.

And prefer separate set_loopback_up and .._down helpers, rather than
a toggle whose behavior depends on current state.
