network create fail: `route ip+net: no such network interface`

[apostasie]

Description

After some repetitive stress testing, network create may fail with
route ip+net: no such network interface

I am not sure where this message is coming from - could not pinpoint it in nerdctl, cni nor containerd.

You might need to run the test suite x100+ times to trigger this.

As mentioned in #3086 and other tickets, recent patches have made our networking situation better - which means we are now seeing deep seated / complex issues that we were not seeing before (because we failed before hitting them...).

Network gurus around, do you have an idea on this route ip+net: no such network interface thing? :-)

Steps to reproduce the issue

while true; do go test ./cmd/nerdctl/network -count 1; done
