selftests/bpf: Prevent client connect before server bind in test_tc_tunnel.sh
In some systems, the netcat server can incur in delay to start listening. When this happens, the test can randomly fail in various points. This is an example error message: # ip gre none gso # encap 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2, type gre, mac none len 2000 # test basic connectivity # Ncat: Connection refused. The issue stems from a race condition between the netcat client and server. The test author had addressed this problem by implementing a sleep, which I have removed in this patch. This patch introduces a function capable of sleeping for up to two seconds. However, it can terminate the waiting period early if the port is reported to be listening.
