Re: [PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Fix issues in parse_num_list()

There are some issues in parse_num_list():

1. The end variable is assigned twice when parsing_end is true.
2. The function does not check that parsing_end should finally be false.

Clean up parse_num_list() and fix these issues.

It would be great to also explain user-visible bug. What do you do to trigger bugs? Can you please put that into the commit message, in a before/after fashion? Thanks!
