selftests: openvswitch: Attempt to autoload module.

Previously, the openvswitch.sh test suites would not attempt to autoload
the openvswitch module.  The idea was that a user who is manually running
tests might not even have the OVS module loaded or configured for their
own development.  However, if the kernel module is configured, and the
module can be autoloaded then we should just attempt to load it and run
the tests.  This is especially true in the CI environments, where the CI
tests should be able to rely on auto loading to get the test suite running.
