[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: py: explicitly forbid multiple ksft_run() calls

[Jakub Kicinski]

People (do people still write code or is it all AI?) seem to not
get that ksft_run() can only be called once. If we call it
multiple times KTAP parsers will likely cut off after the first
batch has finished.
