Allison Henderson 87fdf57ded selftests: rds: Fix tcpdump segfault in rds selftests
net/rds/test.py sees a segfault in tcpdump when executed through the
ksft runner.

The os.fork() call creates extra complexity because it forks the entire
process including the python interpreter.  ip() then calls cmd() which
creates a subprocess.Popen.  We can avoid the extra layering by simply
calling subprocess.Popen directly. Track the process handles directly
and terminate them at cleanup rather than relying on killall. Further
tcpdump's -Z flag attempts to change savefile ownership, which is not
supported by the 9p protocol.  Fix this by writing pcap captures to
"/tmp" during the test and move them to the log directory after tcpdump
exits.
