selftests: net: add ctl_file_write() helper

Browse source 
Setting a sysctl or a sysfs attribute for the duration of a test and
putting the old value back has been open coded multiple times.

We generally avoid creating library helpers but this one is very
common, and the defer is a little tricky as using the same function
for defer as the initial write leads to an infinite loop (not that
I would ever make such mistake!)

Some of the conversions are not identical, but arguably ctl_file_write()
semantics are more correct.
