ubuntu_ltp containers test fails on azure

Cloud: Azure
Series: Bionic
Kernel: 5.0.0-1028.30~18.04.1

The following subset of tests appear to fail frequently on azure clouds instances.

12/08 11:04:33 INFO |ubuntu_ltp:0128| == Test Suite Summary ==
12/08 11:04:33 INFO |ubuntu_ltp:0129| 8 test cases failed
12/08 11:04:33 INFO |ubuntu_ltp:0134| Failed test cases : netns_comm_ip_ipv4_ioctl netns_comm_ip_ipv4_netlink netns_comm_ip_ipv6_ioctl netns_comm_ip_ipv6_netlink netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv4_ioctl netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv4_netlink netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv6_ioctl netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv6_netlink

It would appear that the the networking tests all fail. Appears to have the same problem, can not ping to a netlink device.
