selftests/tcp_ao: Make RST tests less flaky
[ Upstream commit 4225dfa4535f219b03ae14147d9c6e7e82ec8df4 ]
Currently, "active reset" cases are flaky, because select() is called
for 3 sockets, while only 2 are expected to receive RST.
The idea of the third socket was to get into request_sock_queue,
but the test mistakenly attempted to connect() after the listener
socket was shut down.
Repair this test, it's important to check the different kernel
code-paths for signing RST TCP-AO segments.
