selftests: net: avoid just another constant wait
[ Upstream commit 691bb4e49c98a47bc643dd808453136ce78b15b4 ]
Using hard-coded constant timeout to wait for some expected
event is deemed to fail sooner or later, especially in slow
env.
Our CI has spotted another of such race:
# TEST: ipv6: cleanup of cached exceptions - nexthop objects [FAIL]
# can't delete veth device in a timely manner, PMTU dst likely leaked
Replace the crude sleep with a loop looking for the expected condition
at low interval for a much longer range.
Fixes: b3cc4f8a8a41 ("selftests: pmtu: add explicit tests for PMTU exceptions cleanup")
