selftests: tc-testing: move back to per test ns setup

Surprisingly in kernel configs with most of the debug knobs turned on,
pre-allocating the test resources makes tdc run much slower overall than
when allocating resources on a per test basis.

As these knobs are used in kselftests in downstream CIs, let's go back
to the old way of doing things to avoid kselftests timeouts.
