Subject: [PATCH] selftests : netfilter: Wrote a error and exit code for a command which needed veth kernel module.

Precedence: bulk

A test for  the basic NAT functionality uses ip command which
needs veth device.There is a condition where the kernel support
for veth is not compiled into the kernel and the test script
breaks.This patch contains code for reasonable error display
and correct code exit.
