[PATCH net-next v2] selftests: fib_tests: use per-test return value in subtests

[Hangbin Liu]

From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxxx>

fib_tests mixes use of $ret for both per-test return value and global exit
code. If an earlier subtest fails and a later function sets ret=0, the
script will exit with status 0 even though [FAIL] lines were printed.

Use RET as the per-test return value, as already defined in lib.sh. The
exit code ret will only be set in log_test().

Changes in v2:
- target to net-next since this doesn't fix a regression (Ido Schimmel)
- remove RET in fib_carrier_unicast_test which is not used (Ido Schimmel)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260929-self_fib_tests-v1-1-0eab6a3c3a3c@xxxxxxxxxx
