Public bug reported:

In our SRU cycles, all Noble kernels fail in the aforementioned
kselftests:

      11238         20:50:51 DEBUG| [stdout] # Cannot open network
namespace "testns": No such file or directory

This error is caused by the local fix added in 2019:
"UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests: net: fix "from" match test in fib_rule_tests.sh"

It was no longer necessary because a similar fix was applied in upstream:
d1abf388604f ("selftests: fib_rule_tests: enable forwarding before ipv4 from/iif test")

However, such a Ubuntu-local commit is often blindly carried over to
future releases because nobody re-evaluates whether it is still needed
or not.

Now, it is causing a real issue on Noble kselftests.

  $ linux/tools/testing/selftests/net$ sudo ./fib_rule_tests.sh
  Cannot open network namespace "testns": No such file or directory
    
The reason for the failure is obvious; there is no such a namespace since the upstream commit 6c0ee7b4d69d ("selftests/net: convert fib_rule_tests.sh to run it in unique namespace").

Reverting the outdated commit fixes this failure.
