Bugs in memory allocation failure paths are quite common. Add a test exercising those paths based on qstat and page pool failure hook.

Running on bnxt:

# ./drivers/net/hw/pp_alloc_fail.py KTAP version 1 1..1 # ethtool -G change retval: success ok 1 pp_alloc_fail.test_pp_alloc # Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

If i'm reading the traffic generator correctly, this test runs for 24 hours. Do we want some sort of warning here about the test duration? Some sort of alive indication very minute?
