After a test has failed, test/py drains the U-Boot console log to ensure that any relevant output is captured. At this point, we don't care about detecting any additional errors, since the test is already known to have failed, and U-Boot will be restarted. To ensure that the test cleanup code is not interrupted, and can correctly terminate the log sections for the failed test, ignore any exception that occurs while reading the U-Boot console output during this limited period of time.
