Usually when a subtest is executed, setup and cleanup functions are linearly called at the beginning and end of it. In some of them, `set -e` is used before executing commands. If one of the commands returns a non zero code, the whole script exists without cleaning up the resources allocated at setup. This can affect the next tests that use the same resources, leading to a chain of failures.
To be consistent with other tests, calling cleanup function when the script exists fixes the issue.
Steps to reproduce it: 1. Build with CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH disabled. 2. Run net kselftest suite 3. fib_tests:fib_unreg_multipath_test fails when executing `ip -netns ns1 route add 203.0.113.0/24 nexthop via 198.51.100.2 dev dummy0 nexthop via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1` because CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH is disabled. This results in resources allocated during setup (e.g namespace ns1) not being cleaned up. 4. When icmp.sh tries to create namespace ns1 during its setup, it fails with the following error: Cannot create namespace file "/run/netns/ns1": File exists
