Petr Machata 0521a262f0 selftests: devlink_lib: Fix bouncing of netdevsim DEVLINK_DEV
In the commit referenced below, a check was added to devlink_lib that
asserts the existence of a devlink device referenced by $DEVLINK_DEV.
Unfortunately, several netdevsim tests point DEVLINK_DEV at a device that
does not exist at the time that devlink_lib is sourced. Thus these tests
spuriously fail.

Fix this by introducing an override. By setting DEVLINK_DEV to an empty
string, the user declares their intention to handle DEVLINK_DEV management
on their own.

In all netdevsim tests that use devlink_lib and set DEVLINK_DEV, set
instead an empty DEVLINK_DEV just before sourcing devlink_lib, and set it
to the correct value right afterwards.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
