Gal Pressman a84a1fe0fb selftests: net: fix wrong boolean evaluation in __exit__
The __exit__ method receives ex_type as the exception class when an
exception occurs. The previous code used implicit boolean evaluation:

    terminate = self.terminate or (self._exit_wait and ex_type)
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^

In Python, the and operator can be used with non-boolean values, but it
does not always return a boolean result.

This is probably not what we want, because 'self._exit_wait and ex_type'
could return the actual ex_type value (the exception class) rather than
a boolean True when an exception occurs.

Use explicit `ex_type is not None` check to properly evaluate whether
an exception occurred, returning a boolean result.
