selftets: seg6: disable rp_filter by default in srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test
[ Upstream commit f97b8401e0deb46ad1e4245c21f651f64f55aaa6 ]
On some distributions, the rp_filter is automatically set (=1) by
default on a netdev basis (also on VRFs).
In an SRv6 End.DT4 behavior, decapsulated IPv4 packets are routed using
the table associated with the VRF bound to that tunnel. During lookup
operations, the rp_filter can lead to packet loss when activated on the
VRF.
Therefore, we chose to make this selftest more robust by explicitly
disabling the rp_filter during tests (as it is automatically set by some
Linux distributions).
