Yes,if dummy wasn't compiled in the kernel,it will also fail when adding 
dummy device in the next step:
===cut===
ns_exec $NS_HANDLE $NS_TYPE ip link add $DUMMYDEV type dummy || \
     tst_brkm TBROK "failed to add a new dummy device"
===cut===

I prefer 'modprobe dummy' and ignore the return value,because I'm not 
sure whether there is any other default dummy interface name except 
"dummy0".
