selftests: forwarding: hw_stats_l3: Detect failure to install counters
Running this test makes little sense if the enabled l3_stats are not actually reported as "used". This can signify a failure of a driver to install the necessary counters, or simply lack of support for enabling in-HW counters on a given netdevice. It is generally impossible to tell from the outside which it is. But more likely than not, if somebody is running this on veth pairs, they do not intend to actually test that a certain piece of HW can install in-HW counters for the veth. It is more likely they are e.g. running the test by mistake. Therefore detect that the counter has not been actually installed. In that case, if the netdevice is one end of a veth pair, SKIP. Otherwise FAIL.
