This patch finalizes the transition to work with a single local
interface for the ethtool_rmon.sh test. Each 'ip link' and 'ethtool'
command used by the test is annotated with the necessary run_on in
order to be executed on the necessary target system, be it local, in
another network namespace or through ssh.

Since we need NETIF up and running also for control traffic, we now
expect that the interfaces are up and running and do not touch bring
them up or down at the end of the test. This is also documented in the
drivers/net/README.rst.

The ethtool_rmon.sh script can still be used in the older fashion by
passing two interfaces as command line arguments, the only restriction
is that those interfaces need to be already up.

 $ DRIVER_TEST_CONFORMANT=no ./ethtool_rmon.sh eth0 eth1

As part of the kselftest infrastructure, this test can be run in the
following manner:

 $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS="drivers/net drivers/net/hw" \
 install INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/ksft-net-drv
 $ cd /tmp/ksft-net-drv/
 $ cat > ./drivers/net/net.config <<EOF

 LOCAL_V4=17.0.0.1
 REMOTE_V4=17.0.0.2

 REMOTE_ARGS=root@192.168.5.200

* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
