Backlog fluctuates on Spectrum-4 much more than on <4. In practice we can sample queue depth values going from about -12% to about +7% of the configured RED limit. The test which checks the queue size has a limit of +-10%, and as a result often fails. We attempted to fix the issue by busywaiting for several seconds hoping to get within the bounds, but that still proved to be too noisy (or the wait time would be impractically long). Unfortunately we have to bump the value tolerance from 10% to 15%, which in this patch do.
