[PATCH mptcp-next v12 2/5] selftests/bpf: Use random netns name for mptcp

When running mptcp tests simultaneously, it fails sometimes with
"Cannot create namespace file "/var/run/netns/mptcp_ns": File exists"
errors. So this patch uses rand() to generate a random netns name
instead of using the fixed name "mptcp_ns" for every test.

Add "ip netns show" after "ip netns del" to check if there is a test
did not clean up its netns

By doing that, we can re-launch the test even if there was an issue
removing the previous netns or if by accident, a netns with this
generic name already existed on the system.

Note that using a different name each will also help adding more
subtests in future commits.
